RAPS European Digital Technologies and Software conference

October 2025

HGF is proud to be attending the RAPS European Digital Technologies and Software conference in The Netherlands on 30th-31st October.

HGF Partner and Patent Attorney Janine Swarbrick and Patent Director Roxna Kapadia will be speaking on the plenary masterclass Developing a Killer Intellectual Property Strategy for your AI Innovation:

Not to be missed, a masterclass on patent strategy development in the software/AI space from two patent attorneys from HGF, a firm which is highly ranked among Europe’s top patent firms. Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly significant role in the rapidly evolving fields of healthcare and medical technology. With this innovation comes a complex legal landscape, particularly in relation to patent protection for AI-focused inventions in the physics/software and life sciences sectors. Guidance on strategy development, pitfalls and detailed requirements will be provided covering both physics/software and life science aspects of innovations in this space.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand how IP rights can be obtained and used to protect AI innovations in healthcare and life sciences
  • Hear case studies where IP strategies have successfully supported business goals in healthcare companies, and where early IP advice would have been beneficial.
  • Explore best practice in-house for identifying, and retaining value from, AI innovations in your business.

Janine will also be speaking on the opening plenary session Regulatory Compliance in the Age of AI:

We all feel that AI is rapidly transforming the regulatory compliance landscape and the trend will only accelerate in the coming years. AI is already impacting compliance and has immense potential to fundamentally change the field as we know it. We all need to do something with this- but what? And how? Let’s hear from our panelists.
