World Intellectual Property Review interviewed Finnegan managing partner Anand Sharma to discuss his forecast for the top three intellectual property (IP) trends facing lawyers and IP owners in 2022. Anand believes the top three trends in IP will be: subject matter eligibility, artificial intelligence (AI), and non-fungible tokens.
