IP Industry Outlook 2025
The Impact of AI on the IP Profession

Overview

Pathways to Productivity: AI in IP

Benchmarking an Industry

AI technologies have developed rapidly since our inaugural Outlook Research revealed enthusiasm and impatience among patent and trademark professionals for dedicated AI solutions for IP. This year, we set out to assess whether their calls for innovation had been answered.

Questel’s IP Outlook Research seeks to help IP departments, service providers, and industry stakeholders benchmark their approach to evolution in the IP profession. For this year’s research, we took a deep dive into AI adoption in the IP sector by asking patent and trademark practitioners to share how the rise of AI solutions impacts their day-to-day workloads and practices.

About Our 2025 IP Industry Outlook Research

Over three months, we consulted more than 500 IP professionals around the globe about a series of topics, including their enthusiasm for predictive and generative AI solutions for IP, their views on the advantages and disadvantages of existing tools, where they would most like to see investment in AI and non-AI based technologies in the next five years, and how IP service and technology providers can improve their offerings to better serve their needs. The results are captured in 'Pathways to Productivity: AI in IP,' our latest industry benchmarking report on AI adoption by the IP sector, limits, opportunities, and emerging trends.
