With nearly 60 committees focused on a wide-array of specialties and topics, there is a place for every member to get involved. Our committees are the heartbeat of AIPLA and thousands of members actively contribute their time, talent, and expertise to the advancement of their careers, the association, and the IP profession. Participation in committee work also exposes you to additional member benefits, provides leadership opportunities and expands your professional network.
What is an AIPLA committee?
Our 60+ committees guide or advocacy and activity. Whether it is writing reports on current legislation, hosting CLE programs and events with major speakers or filing amicus briefs in ground-breaking legal cases, our committees shape policy and frame debate on the pressing legal issues of the day. Serving on a committee also offers the opportunity to build a network of valuable professional contacts and friendships.
What are the benefits of joining an AIPLA committee?
Serving on a committee offers the opportunity to build a network of valuable professional contacts and friendships within your practice or interest area. Participating on a committee in an area of IP law outside one’s professional practice can be a wonderful way to be involved in personal interests outside your day-to-day practice. It also exposes you to additional member benefits and provides leadership opportunities.
Who can join a committee?
Committee participation is a benefit of AIPLA membership and therefore only AIPLA members can be considered. If you are not a member please join. Committee members are expected to remain in good standing to retain their seat. Certain special committees require a direct appointment by the AIPLA President.
