🌍 Spring IP Events: Anaqua's Team Around the World! It's been a packed schedule of industry events across the globe for the Anaqua team - INTA Annual Meeting, AIPLA Spring, the Consero Global IP Management Forum, LSPN NA Spring, MAPS EMEA, and the NAIPA Conference. While each event had its own focus, the same themes kept surfacing - IP teams under pressure to do more with less, growing complexity across portfolios, and a shift to practical uses of AI. And as always, the Anaqua team have been right in the middle of it - engaged in the discussions shaping where the industry is heading next. Thank you to everyone who met with our team.

What does AI actually change for IP professionals? Toni Nijm, Anaqua's Chief Product Officer, sat down with Trademark Lawyer Magazine at #INTA2026 to answer this hot topic. The conversation covered a lot of ground: from the new Patrix IP Helpware acquisition to why agentic AI is a fundamentally different shift from AI-assisted software, and what a 95% brand infringement takedown success rate requires behind the scenes. According to Toni Nijm, "The future isn't about AI doing everything. The idea is to flip the model. Instead of taking the human out of the loop, put them on the loop - where they guide, validate, and accelerate the process, rather than doing it all manually. So, attorneys can focus their time on providing their expertise to clients.”   Watch the full conversation here: https://lnkd.in/eBRDfXCf #TrademarkLawyer #Anaqua #IPManagement #IntellectualProperty #AIinIP #Patrix #AgenticAI #LawFirms #Legal #Patrix #Attorneys

IP in the fast lane: AI, data, and trade secrets in self-driving cars Intellectual property in autonomous vehicles is shifting beyond patents and software claims, as AI systems increasingly depend on data and embedded technical know-how. What’s changing? ➡️ Value is moving beyond models and algorithms to the datasets, training processes, and engineering decisions that shape system performance. ➡️ Data now sits at the center of IP protection in autonomous driving, extending beyond algorithms to how data is collected, labeled, and refined. This is putting more pressure on trade secrets. With development spread across suppliers, software providers, and platform partners, sensitive know-how moves through more hands, increasing the risk of exposure and making confidentiality harder to maintain. The direction is clear: as AI accelerates autonomous driving, it expands what IP needs to cover - and how it is protected.

New E-Book: A New Way of Working with AI How can teams effectively adopt AI into IP processes? Some teams are moving fast. Others are starting with one workflow at a time. Both approaches work. “AI is not a destination, and there is no single “right” pace of adoption.” – Toni Nijm, Chief Product Officer, Anaqua. Our latest eBook shares practical guidance and actionable tips to help teams start—and scale—their AI journey in a way that delivers value. What matters most: • Solving business problems • Taking a practical approach for quick wins • Maintaining focus on long-term transformation Creating a roadmap for AI adoption can be daunting.

The Battery Race Is Now an IP Race Battery technology is evolving rapidly, and the real story is hidden in the patent data. Matt Troyer, Senior Director of Patent Analytics at Anaqua, explores how the shift to renewables is reshaping the global IP landscape, “From New Innovations to Patents: How Intellectual Property Reveals a Shift in the Battery Technology Landscape.” 📊 What does the data reveal: • 300,000+ filings in battery pack design alone • Rapid acceleration across battery management systems (BMS), thermal management, and charging • A shift toward integrated, high-performance energy ecosystems But what is the real differentiator? How companies use this data. The leaders aren’t just filing more patents. They’re: • Defining technical standards • Identifying whitespace before competitors • Using analytics to anticipate market shifts 👉See what Anaqua's analytics reveal in this IAM Report: https://bit.ly/4udmdvP #EnergyInnovation #PatentAnalytics #IPStrategy #BatteryTechnology #CleanEnergy #EV #PortfolioManagement #TechnologyLandscape

⚽ What Makes a Signature Pose in Sports Protectable? From goal celebrations to signature poses, sports have always had moments that transcend the game.     What many people don’t realize is that while signature poses themselves aren’t usually protected like traditional trademarks, they can still become part of a protectable brand once they’re consistently used in commerce and tied to a recognizable identity.     In other words, it’s not the movement on its own that’s protected - it’s the brand that forms around it.     Signature poses are increasingly relevant in the IP and sports. They sit at the intersection of spontaneity, personal branding, and commercial value, raising interesting questions for clubs, athletes, and rights holders across media, gaming, and merchandising.     Read more in @WIPO: https://lnkd.in/eRBFXcNn     #IP #Trademarks #SportsIP #IntellectualProperty #SportsBusiness #Anaqua #AIinIP #WIPO #SyntheticMedia #AI #NIL

🎙️ What Key Questions Are Driving Buyer Decisions in IP Right Now?   At #INTA 2026, we spoke with Anaqua’s Chief Revenue Officer, Ryan Blackwell, about what’s driving buying conversations in the IP space right now. Ryan says AI is a constant theme - but it’s showing up in a very practical way. For new customers, it’s often what the conversation starts. For existing customers, it’s about how AI is embedded across the IP lifecycle and applied to real use cases. Alongside that, buyer expectations are laser focused on outcomes. It’s no longer about AI in isolation - it’s about efficiency, measurable value, and clear financial justification. The IP industry is pressured to do more with less, backed by proof points that show the real impact of AI. At Anaqua, we are focused on providing practical IP platforms that make work easier for IP teams and deliver tangible results from AI.

Beyond the Red Carpet: Fashion and IP The Met Gala may no longer be at the top of the headlines, but it left behind a bigger question: how do you protect creativity in an industry built on visibility? Fashion sits at the intersection of art, commerce, and legal protection — and the tension between those forces is growing. Take Schiaparelli's couture designs. Known for surrealist detailing and highly distinctive silhouettes, these pieces aren't just "outfits". They're carefully built assets where brand identity, design rights, craftsmanship, and trademark protection all converge. And yet, here's the paradox: the fashion industry, which is built on original designs, still has some of the weakest IP protections. Designs are showcased instantly, shared globally, and replicated just as quickly. That speed, combined with the rise of digital fashion and AI-generated design, is putting real pressure on traditional IP frameworks and designers. As this year's Met Gala theme: "Fashion Is Art" reminds us, the line between garment and artwork continues to blur. And the law is still catching up.
