JASG Networking Mixer and IP AI Panel

The Japan-America Society of Georgia hosts a networking mixer and panel Wednesday, October 21, 2026 starting 5:30 PM at Roundtrip Brewing East Cobb, 4475 Roswell Road Suite 1600 in Marietta. The panel title is Navigating Change: IP, USPTO Leadership & Impacts of AI. Moderator Jon Hobbs of IP Solution is joined by David Llewellyn, Director of R&D at Mizuno USA, with additional panelists listed as TBA on the live page. Host copy frames networking before and after the program with light appetizers and craft beverages, aimed at how Japanese companies in the U.S. adapt to IP policy shifts, USPTO priorities, and AI strategy.

JASG is Georgia's named Japan-America society, and this East Cobb brewery format clears Circuit when the host, price, and registration gate stay re-checkable. Members and Friends of JASG list at $20; non-members at $30. Advance registration is required; walk-ups may be turned away for capacity. Topics on the page include recent U.S. IP policy shifts, priorities tied to USPTO leadership, AI's impact on business models and IP strategy, and practical challenges for Japanese companies operating in the U.S. Email Admin@JASGeorgia.org if the cart or TBA panel seats need a human check.

This is right for Japan-corridor legal, R&D, and corporate operators in metro Atlanta who want IP and AI strategy conversation with brewery networking attached. Skip it if you need a full-day biotech partnering summit or a free student mixer. Bring one concrete USPTO or AI-IP question, and register before Roswell Road evening traffic. Non-members should clear the $30 fee rather than assuming a Friends rate at the door.

If you are choosing between this Marietta night and a thinner Buford Highway mixer the same week, stay here for JASG's Japan-business IP density. Register on jasgeorgia.org, confirm member versus non-member pricing, and re-check panelist notes closer to October 21 as TBA seats fill.
