The 2027 Sedona Global Intellectual Property Conference

The 2027 Sedona Global Intellectual Property Conference is an annual event organized by The Sedona Conference, a nonpartisan, nonprofit research and educational institute dedicated to the advanced study of law and policy in areas such as intellectual property rights. This conference brings together a diverse group of IP practitioners, government leaders, academics, and judges from around the world to engage in dialogue on cutting-edge intellectual property issues.

Key topics covered at the conference include the Unified Patent Court (UPC) and its developments, strategies for protecting trade secrets across multiple jurisdictions, the role of litigation funding in IP disputes, and the impact of artificial intelligence on patent law and litigation. Sessions also delve into standard-essential patents (SEPs) and fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms, bio/pharma patent litigation, global venue selection for IP disputes, and trends in patent remedies worldwide.

The conference features panels of distinguished judges from the US and Europe, as well as in-house counsel representing leading global brands. Attendees have opportunities for networking during receptions and can participate in discussions that provide practical insights into managing intellectual property in a global context.

This event is ideal for IP professionals seeking to stay abreast of international developments, gain strategic insights, and connect with peers and thought leaders in the field.
