This panel explores how AI is reshaping patent prosecution, from drafting and prior art search to office action strategy, adoption metrics, and governance. Moderated by Ayan Roy-Chowdhury (Fish & Richardson), the discussion features insights from Michelle Lee (former USPTO Director and AI leader at Google and Amazon), Ian Schick (Founder of Paximal), and Steve Gong (Head of Data Science, Technology & Operations, Google Global Patents). Together, they offer practitioner, policymaker, and client-side perspectives on where AI delivers real value—and where judgment and ethics still matter most.
