Isabella Sommer-Zhang
European Patent Attorney, Heuking Kühn Lüer Wojtek
Isabella Sommer-Zhang has been a European Patent Attorney since 2021 and a representative before the UPC since 2026. In January 2022, she joined Heuking as the firm's first patent attorney. She advises national and international clients, including clients from China, throughout the entire patent lifecycle. Her areas of focus include electrical engineering, software, artificial intelligence and blockchain patents.
She develops patent strategies and manages patent prosecution proceedings before the EPO and the WIPO. In addition, she acts in infringement, nullity and opposition proceedings, including proceedings before the UPC. Prior to joining Heuking, she gained experience at two patent law firms.
Isabella Sommer-Zhang holds a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering, specialising in micro- and nanotechnology, from RWTH Aachen University. She is listed in IAM Patent 1000: The World's Leading Patent Professionals and recognised by Best Lawyers in the "Ones to Watch" category.
She also has extensive practical experience in applying generative AI tools in patent prosecution, including patent drafting, as well as in the digital optimisation of cross-team processes.
What to Expect
- The potential of generative AI for daily patent work
- Generative AI for the drafting of patent applications
- The applications of Agentic AI in patent departments and patent law firms
- Generative AI for prosecution, litigation and patent search
- How to implement generative AI in day-to-day patent work
Who Should Attend
Do you work as a patent attorney, patent counsel or patent engineer and seek to integrate generative AI into your daily work?
Then this is the right course for you. Basic knowledge of how generative AI works is assumed. Programming knowledge is not required. Initial experience with prompting is helpful. Commercial IP GenAI tools will not be presented.
Objective of the Event
Generative AI (GenAI) now offers a wide range of applications for patent-related tasks.
During the course, participants will delve into the various use cases of generative AI in patent-related tasks. Key areas of focus will include how generative AI can enhance the efficiency and accuracy of patent searches, assist in the drafting of patent applications, and offer innovative solutions to complex technical queries in the patent field. The curriculum is structured to provide practical, hands-on experience, ensuring that attendees gain not only theoretical knowledge but also the skills to apply generative AI directly in their patent work.
By the end of the course, attendees will be well-prepared to integrate generative AI into their workflow, leveraging its capabilities to stay at the forefront of technological advancement in the patent sector.
Your Benefit
- Attendees will leave with improved efficiency and precision in handling patent tasks, having learned to effectively utilize generative AI for searches, drafting, and analysis.
- They will gain practical experience in applying generative AI to real-world patent issues, equipping them with the ability to tackle complex challenges using AI.
- Participants will develop specialized skills in integrating generative AI into their patent practices, preparing them for the evolving landscape of AI in patent law.

Further information
Workshop materials
Participants will receive comprehensive workshop materials, including the presentation slides and practical resources for the compliant and efficient use of generative AI in their daily patent work.
For the exercises in the workshop, participants should have access to a paid cloud chatbot such as ChatGPT, Claude or Microsoft Copilot in a pro version. Participation with an additional monitor is also recommended.
Intensive learning
A feature of this online course is the restriction of the number of participants to 12, enabling a more intensive learning experience.
