IP Awareness Summit (IPAS 2022)

​The fifth annual Intellectual Property Awareness Summit (IPAS 2022) returns this year on April 5th to the SF-Bay Area. This year’s event will be both in-person and virtual for those unable to travel.

IPAS 2022 is a gathering of IP owners, creators, educators, lawyers, organizations and investors, all with a common goal – to explore ways to make the benefits of IP rights, and the issues surrounding them, more apparent to key audiences. 

Topics to be addressed this year include:

• Entrepreneurship and Diversity – Do strong IP rights help or hinder them?

• The IP Understanding Disconnect – What is it? Why it matters? What to do about it?

• The Impact of ‘Virtual’ Property on IP – AI, blockchain and NFTs

• China, Covid and Global Threats – IP’s role in maintaining an innovation edge

Building Bridges

The IP Awareness Summit® is the only annual event that examines the impact of IP awareness on innovation, content, people and value – and the strategies for improving it. IPAS 2022 will provide those who attend an excellent opportunity for discussion and networking in a conducive setting.

This year’s theme is ‘the Future of Intellectual Property’.
