IPR Conference

The EU–ROK IP Action, funded and led by the European Commission and implemented and co-funded by the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), organised the IPR Conference 2026: AI Meets IP: Practical Perspectives from Offices and Users, held in Seoul on 6 November 2026 in cooperation with the European Chamber of Commerce in Korea (ECCK) and the Ministry of Intellectual Property of the Republic of Korea (MOIP). The conference brought together representatives from IP offices, industry, academia and legal practice to explore the practical use of artificial intelligence in the field of intellectual property.

The programme featured contributions from European and Korean IP authorities, alongside private-sector experts, examining AI-supported services for IP users and practical applications of AI in trade mark, design and patent-related activities. The event provided a platform for exchanges on innovation, digital transformation and the future of intellectual property in the age of AI.
