IFLR1000 2026 Research Webinar - Europe

High-stakes intellectual property (IP) decisions depend on the strength of your prior art searches. Yet even sophisticated teams continue to miss critical references – often not because of lack of effort but due to underlying human, linguistic, or strategic blind spots.

On December 11, Managing IP will host a webinar with experts from CAS to explore why these gaps persist and how practitioners can meaningfully reduce them.

Matt McBride, director of CAS IP Services, and Mike Axton, manager of the customer success team, will examine the following key areas:
• The ‘invisible hand’ in the search box – how human bias shapes decisions without being noticed;
• Efficiency versus exhaustiveness – knowing where diminishing returns begin and where risk remains;
• Degrees of separation in prior art (the ‘Kevin Bacon effect’) – when concept proximity matters more than keywords; and
• Semantic gaps in patent searching – the limitations of language and keyword reliance.

The session will break down the anatomy of common missed references, including poor query design, incomplete content sources, lack of subject-matter context, and over-reliance on automation. Real-world examples from drug discovery and complex technical fields will illustrate practical methods to de-risk critical searches, identify hidden gaps, and present findings clearly for internal decision-making.

The webinar is designed to assist IP search professionals, R&D teams, patent attorneys, and anyone responsible for due diligence or freedom-to-operate assessments. There will be a live Q&A, offering participants the opportunity to address their specific challenges.

Register now and join us at 3pm GMT (10am EST) on December 11.

From bias to breakthrough: how to strengthen IP search outcomes

Intellectual property (IP) professionals are drowning in administrative tasks while facing mounting pressure to deliver strategic value. This webinar cuts through the AI hype to reveal practical implementation strategies that leading IP teams use to transform their operations and demonstrate measurable ROI to leadership.

Drawing from real-world deployments, Paige Edwards, manager – legal vertical at Patsnap, will explore how forward-thinking IP departments and law firms are achieving dramatic productivity improvements while repositioning themselves as strategic business partners. You will learn about proven frameworks for AI adoption that minimise disruption while maximising impact.

The key takeaways will include:
• Proven ROI metrics – real data showing 75% efficiency gains in patent searches, prior art analysis, and portfolio management;
• An implementation roadmap – a step-by-step approach to introduce AI tools without overwhelming your team or budget;
• Quick wins identification – which AI applications deliver immediate results versus long-term strategic value;
• Change management strategies – how to get buy-in from sceptical colleagues and demonstrate value to C-suite executives; and
• Risk mitigation – common pitfalls in AI adoption and how market leaders successfully navigated them.

Whether you are exploring your first AI tool or scaling existing implementations, this session provides actionable insights to transform your IP operations from cost centre to competitive advantage. Attendees will leave with a clear roadmap tailored to your organisation's maturity level and resources.

The webinar will conclude with a live Q&A, offering participants the opportunity to address their specific challenges. Register now and join us at 3pm BST (10am EDT) on October 16.

Intellectual property (IP) due diligence should be an integral part of M&A, but is often left until late in the process, when it serves primarily to highlight any red flags before the transaction concludes. Unlike other areas – such as those related to finance, legal, or HR – IP due diligence is often only carried out for specific situations. Omitting it, or performing it without the technical and legal knowledge required to understand the implications of IP, means any problems could be expensive to fix.

This webinar will discuss the pitfalls for companies conducting due diligence and those that are subject to it. Zacco senior partners Anders Fredriksson, Bent Lundsager, and Adam Brandt will discuss how to get the process right with Max Walters, the editor of MIP.

The first part of the webinar will support those investing in, partnering with, or acquiring other organisations. The focus will be on: 
• Asking the right questions early in the process; 
• Ensuring secure transfer of IP; 
• Confirming alignment between an organisation’s IP portfolio and product roadmap; and 
• Assessing cost implications for portfolio maintenance.

The webinar will then move on to guiding startups and SMEs in positioning themselves correctly for when IP due diligence questions are raised during funding rounds, for when they are seeking direct investment, or in preparation for an acquisition. The focus shifts to: 
• Establishing processes to record and manage IP interactions and portfolio growth; 
• Capturing idea development; and 
• Demonstrating the value of your IP portfolio and processes, making your company a more valuable prospect as a target.

The webinar will explore real-world scenarios, outline actionable steps, and explain how to future-proof deals. Whether you are a seasoned investor or an innovation-driven startup preparing for due diligence, this session will equip you with the insights needed to make smarter decisions – and avoid costly surprises.

IP due diligence: red flags, clearing hurdles, and adding value during M&A and investment

In this webinar, we will provide more information on the annual research process, including how to prepare submissions and the timescale of the research.

This is a unique opportunity to get guidance on legal directory submissions and ask questions. The webinar is recorded and will be available thereafter if you are unable to participate live. Simply register to receive notification of the recording.
