Protecting Innovation in Robotics: IP Strategies that Work

As robotics technologies advance, securing intellectual property is more critical—and more complex—than ever. This panel will explore practical IP strategies that robotics innovators can use to safeguard their inventions, navigate global patent landscapes, and maintain competitive advantage in a fast-evolving field.

Speakers will address the following key points:
• Implementing processes to identify and protect novel technologies
• Ensuring strong protection for AI innovations, including balancing patent and trade secret options
• Developing a strategic patent portfolio—using both offensive and defensive strategies—to secure a competitive edge in the robotics market
• Understanding the robotics patent landscape to guide product development, avoid infringement risks, and align IP strategy with technological roadmaps
• Attracting investment and strengthening collaboration and licensing opportunities
• Preparing for IP due diligence from both the investor/acquirer and target perspectives, with an emphasis on the unique considerations in the robotics sector.
