Global Advocacy
AIPLA works closely with international organizations and governments to advocate for our members' interests.
AIPLA has served both the national and
international IP communities for well over a century with education,
advocacy, and practice development programs and events. We recognize
the important role attorneys and agents play in the protection of
international intellectual property rights.
Nearly a decade ago, AIPLA and the World
Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) signed a Memorandum of
Understanding on Cooperation in the Field of Intellectual Property.
More recently, AIPLA reached out to National IP Practitioner
Associations from around the globe to come together in a summit to
discuss common issues and challenges, and share the views and visions of
colleagues around the world.
We also advocate on behalf of our members and
make our views known to various international bodies and governments.
