Invitation for In-House Corporate Counsel First-Time Attendees AIPLA launched a pilot program to encourage in-house corporate counsel to attend AIPLA major meetings to see first-hand the outstanding CLE programs we provide.

We are pleased to continue this special offer for the 2013 Spring Meeting. For individuals who have never attend-ed an AIPLA major meeting, such as a Spring, Annual or Mid-Winter Meeting, who are also corporate in-house counsel, AIPLA will waive the registration fee. Tickets to the events are not included in this registration. You will need to pay for those events separately. This waiver of fees is available for one stated meeting only.

To take advantage of this one-time offer, simply complete the registration form and fax it to us at (703) 412-1304. Once AIPLA has verified that this is your first major meeting and that you meet the in-house corporate counsel criteria, you will receive a registration confirmation. Our hope is that you enjoy your experience at your first AIPLA meeting and that you will join us again for future programs and become more actively involved with the work of the Association, especially through involvement with the Committees.

If you qualify for this special offer, please select the box listed as “first-time corporate in-house counsel” on the registration form.

About the AIPPI-US Division of AIPLA AIPPI and the AIPPI-US Division of AIPLA offer an excellent opportunity to make a difference in international IP law. AIPPI brings together leaders from many national groups on a level playing field, providing unique opportunities to learn about IP law in other countries. One of the important benefits of membership in the AIPPI-US Division of AIPLA is the chance to meet and get to know top US and international IP lawyers and to learn about US intellectual property law in an international context. AIPPI Resolutions can and do provide support for international and national lawmakers, advocates and decision-makers engaged in the work of advancing the development of IP treaties and laws and in applying such authority to determine the rights of parties. WIPO and the “IP5,” i.e., USPTO, EPO, JPO, SIPO, KIPO, as well as other regional and national patent or intellectual property offices, legislatures and courts, are among the important organizations and institutions to receive such input from AIPPI.

Don’t miss out on an opportunity to meet some of the leaders of AIPPI and get a preview of the draft responses to the 2013 Working Questions that will be debated at the 2013 ExCo and Forum in Helsinki, Finland this coming September on Wednesday, May 1, from 3:30 - 5:30 pm.

Membership in AIPPI provides opportunities to contribute in Working Committees uniquely focused on working questions related to international IP law. AIPPI members can also participate in US and international AIPPI meetings with interesting scientific and social/cultural programs, often involving interesting travel to leading cities in the US and other countries of the world. In AIPPI, each active member increases his or her knowledge and skills in US and international IP law and advocacy, and thereby advances the IP and legal systems at home and across the globe, while getting to know key players personally. And if you’re not yet a member of AIPPI-US, join today! Please visit the AIPPI-US website at www.aippi-us.org for more information.
