IPWatchdog | The Road Ahead: Predicting IP Developments to Watch in 2022

What are the key #intellectualproperty trends to watch out for in 2022? Here are my top three:
1) Courts and governments in key jurisdictions will reveal their positions on AI, with most opting to keep the status quo or adapting AI to existing IP doctrines.
2) Legislative and executive branches of government will weigh in on the weaponizing of antisuit injunctions. This may be an important first step to developing a code of conduct, perhaps within the context of plurilateral trade agreements.
3) The emergence of more truly international IP meetings. With virtual and hybrid events becoming the norm, the ease of both attending and speaking at such events allows more voices that have thus far been largely absent to participate and be heard. We have much to learn from each other. The humility, willingness, and now the ability to do so seamlessly can only bode well for the inextricably interconnected IP issues we face.
