1 July 2026| In this episode, Bastian Best and Rose Hughes discuss the impact of artificial intelligence on the patent profession. They explore whether AI represents an existential threat or simply another technological shift, separating legal-tech hype from reality and examining where today's AI tools genuinely add value - and where they still fall short. They also consider what these developments mean for the future role of patent attorneys and how the profession is likely to evolve in the years ahead.
