Leading the Conversation on the Future of Intellectual Property: Steve Hankins to Moderate Symposium Keynote

Our clients depend on intellectual property to drive innovation, protect competitive advantages, and create long-term business value. As technology and artificial intelligence continue to evolve, staying ahead of legal developments is more important than ever.

We are pleased to share that Stephen M. Hankins will moderate the keynote talk at the upcoming Intellectual Property Law Summit hosted by the Bar Association of San Francisco on October 22, 2026. Steve will lead a discussion with San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu titled "IP Issues Facing the City, Including the Recent Airport Litigation." As the epicenter of the AI industry and a longstanding hub for intellectual property innovation, San Francisco remains at the forefront of many of today's most consequential IP issues. The session will explore the growing intersection of intellectual property, technology, public infrastructure, and government operations, along with the legal and business implications of emerging developments in these areas.

This opportunity reflects Steve's recognized experience in intellectual property litigation and his continued leadership within the legal community. It also highlights RSHC's commitment to staying at the forefront of issues that matter most to our clients as innovation, AI, and technology continue to reshape the legal landscape.
