Understanding the Needs, Experiences and Perspectives of the Global IP Profession

As artificial intelligence and specialist technologies continue to develop across the intellectual property sector, it is important to understand how IP professionals view these developments, whether they are relevant to their work, and what information they need to make informed decisions.

Northon's Media PR & Marketing Ltd, publishers of The IP Tech & Innovation Services Annual, invites IP lawyers, in-house counsel, patent and trade mark professionals, and other IP specialists worldwide to participate in our independent global industry survey.

Our objective is not to promote or encourage the adoption of artificial intelligence or any particular technology. We recognise that every professional and organisation has different requirements, priorities and ways of working, and that technology may not be appropriate or necessary for everyone.
Instead, we want to hear your honest views on the technologies available, your experiences using them, any concerns or challenges you may have, and whether sufficient guidance, information, and support are available to help you assess their suitability.

We also want to understand whether The IP Tech & Innovation Services Annual is achieving its objective of showcasing the range of technology solutions and service providers available internationally, enabling IP professionals to research their options and independently determine what, if anything, may benefit their practice.

The findings of this independent survey will be published in The IP Tech & Innovation Services Annual 2027, providing valuable insights into the perspectives and evolving requirements of the global intellectual property profession.

Whether you use AI and IP technology regularly, are exploring the possibilities, or have chosen not to adopt these tools, your views matter.

We welcome your honest feedback.
