Thank You for Connecting with Us at INTA 2026

At the 2026 INTA Annual Meeting, we had the opportunity to connect with professionals from across the global intellectual property community and hear directly about the challenges, priorities, and emerging trends shaping the industry.

This year’s event covered a wide range of timely topics across trademarks, patents, enforcement, technology, and legal operations. AI was one of the most visible themes throughout the meeting, with discussions focused on AI’s growing role in legal teams, AI-generated content, AI and copyright, AI in brand protection, AI regulation, and the practical realities of applying AI within IP workflows. Broader sessions also explored how data, automation, and technology are influencing portfolio management, investigations, and decision-making across IP organizations.

Across the event, there was also strong attention on global trademark strategy and enforcement. Topics included anti-counterfeiting, bad-faith filings, non-use cancellations, domain strategy, online infringement, social media enforcement, parallel imports, distinctiveness, sound marks, design protection, and cross-border brand protection. Discussions also reflected continued interest in managing rights across multiple jurisdictions, adapting to changing regional requirements, and responding to evolving risks in digital marketplaces.
Many conversations also centered on the day-to-day realities facing IP teams. Throughout the week, attendees discussed increasing workloads, growing pressure to improve efficiency, the need for clearer portfolio visibility, and the challenge of balancing legal complexity with business expectations. In-house leadership, team management, collaboration, due diligence, commercialization of intangible assets, and the need for practical, scalable IP operations were all recurring themes.
For us, INTA provided a valuable setting to better understand the pressures organizations are facing and the areas where efficiency, accuracy, and visibility are becoming increasingly important. These discussions reinforced the need for solutions that help reduce manual work, improve confidence in IP data, and support more informed decision-making across portfolios.
During the meeting, we also had the opportunity to share updates on CPI’s AI-powered IP management capabilities and discuss how our integrated systems support patent and trademark operations through workflow automation, verified global data, and real-time insight.
We appreciated the chance to exchange perspectives with attendees and gain further insight into the priorities and concerns currently impacting the IP field. Events like INTA continue to provide an important forum for dialogue around how technology, legal strategy, and operational excellence can better support IP professionals as demands continue to evolve.
