PATINFO2019

PATINFO2019 will be held in Ilmenau from 5 to 7 June. We will discuss the topic of  “IP and AI – Dream and Reality”.

 AI -Artificial Intelligence affects the field of intellectual property in many ways. As a further development of semantic research, AI methods are already being used to search for patents, trademarks, and designs. How can inventions in the field of AI be protected by patents? Where are AI tools already used? In the classification of applications, in searching without the use of retrieval languages or Boolean logic, in image-oriented brand search, from translation to the automated generation of “state of the art content”, we meet AI methods. Can they meet the high expectations of information professionals?

 The influence of AI methods in the field of intellectual property rights will be discussed in the opening part by the President of the German Patent and Trademark Office (DPMA), a representative of the board of the European Patent Office (EPO) and a representative of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).

 In the main part, patent and trademark experts from industry, patent offices, information service providers and academic institutions as well as patent attorneys will present their expertise on this subject. In addition, we take up current topics in the areas of research, patenting and exploitation, trademark and design protection.

In the accompanying exhibition and in a series of short presentations, 40 software vendors and information service providers will present their latest developments. The patent agency will present current technology offers of Thuringian universities and scientific institutions.

A free workshop program completes the event. The PATINFO2019, organized by the Thuringia Patent Center PATON, will remain the forum for the exchange of experiences between patent attorneys, patent experts, engineers, scientists, service and information providers and information brokers, offices and agencies of intellectual property rights.

To facilitate the informal exchange and networking the conference will kick off on June 5 with a Welcome Reception, sponsored this year by ip-search, provider of IP search services, and Minesoft, leading provider of patent information and analytics services.

We kindly advise you that the main conference language is German.
