Patenting AI & Materials Webinar 2: Strategic IP

Keltie LLP patent attorneys Dr Monica Patel and Dr Emily Weal deliver a two-part webinar series on protecting innovation at the intersection of AI and materials science. The sessions will guide researchers, innovators and start-ups through IP fundamentals, patenting strategies, and practical tools for recognising and protecting commercially valuable ideas in AI-enabled materials discovery. This webinar will build on these foundations to focus on how to recognise and protect commercially valuable ideas in AI and materials. The session will cover how to identify patentable inventions in your research, principles of strategic patent drafting for data-driven and AI-enabled materials innovations, and common IP ownership and collaboration pitfalls in multi-partner projects. The session will also cover an introduction to competitor patent searching and patent landscaping techniques, and practical IP tips tailored for start-ups and spin-outs emerging from the AI and materials ecosystem. While open to all, attendees will benefit from having joined Webinar 1 or having a basic familiarity with core IP concepts.
