The bottom line
Roughly 85% of the work in Protect intellectual property is information-shaped — already within reach of AI delivery. The question here is not whether it shifts, but which tasks go first and who staffs the residual.
Why: With no child occupations seeded, the primary signal is the APQC category lens 'Manage legal and ethical issues', which strongly implies knowledge work. The process description explicitly lists tasks like creating NDAs, tracking patents, monitoring copyright usage, and drafting licensing terms. Because these activities are entirely based on document management, research, and information transformation with no physical execution component, the process falls solidly into the digital band.
