Wojciech Marciniak, Management Board Member and Head of Patent Team I at POLSERVICE, recently participated in the FICPI World Congress held in Naples.
Congratulations to Elia Sugrañes on becoming the first female FICPI President, and our thanks to Roberto Pistolesi for his term, whose clarity and leadership have left an enduring mark on FICPI.
The Congress was a perfect opportunity to exchange thoughts on such important topics as collaboration, DEIA, and the evolving landscape of IP practice. It offered a great mix of inspiring panel discussions, fruitful networking possibilities in amazing locations around Gulf of Naples. Wojciech particularly enjoyed panel session entitled “What AI and frontier technologies mean for IP Practitioners and IP Offices”, which explored the influence of these technologies on IP community.
We are grateful to FICPI for organizing such an inspiring event, with a superb social, cultural, and academic agenda, and meaningful discussions with colleagues from around the world.
Hope to see everyone next year at the FICPI Open Forum in Budapest: 15–18 September 2026!
