In this episode of Invent Anything, John Cronin explores how artificial intelligence is transforming the world of intellectual property. He outlines six key topics from current business adoption of AI, to the evolution of patent strategies, to the future of AI-powered innovation.
John explains how AI is accelerating invention across industries, enabling “in-time” patent creation, and turning patents into living, revenue-generating assets. He highlights the new types of inventions possible in AI-assisted businesses spanning business models, functional inventions, novel compositions, multi-sensory interfaces, and advanced manufacturing processes.
Looking ahead, John predicts an unprecedented surge in invention velocity, reduced R&D costs, and new domains for patent protection. For startups, corporate innovators, investors, attorneys, and policymakers, the message is clear: leveraging AI and IP together will be a competitive baseline for business success in the years to come.
