Giving Thanks in 2025: What IP Practitioners are Grateful for This Year
"Bartkowski PLLC is thankful for the friendship, camaraderie, and teamwork that we enjoy within our firm, as well as with our co-counsel and clients. On a broader level, the firm is thankful that the current Administration has prioritized re-establishing a strong patent system that rewards inventors, innovators, and entrepreneurs. We look forward to working with our clients to further those objectives!"
"I'm grateful for the openness I'm seeing across the IP community this year. When I first started working at the intersection of AI and IP, these conversations were niche and often met with hesitation. Over the past year, that's shifted. The entire IP ecosystem has a newfound curiosity, thoughtfulness, and genuine interest in how technology can (and should) be leveraged to transform the profession. I'm thankful for the honest conversations I've had with countles"
Leadership changes at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and a new presidential administration have driven notable shifts in intellectual property policy, especially concerning AI-related patentability. Reactions within the IP community vary, with some practitioners welcoming a renewed emphasis on strong patent protections and others viewing rapid policy shifts as challenging. A widespread sentiment of gratitude emerges for professional camaraderie, teamwork, and collaborative relationships among firms, co-counsel, and clients. Many express optimism about prioritizing inventors and entrepreneurs, and appreciation for increased openness, curiosity, and thoughtful engagement around how AI can and should be integrated into IP practice.
