Dear AIPLA Members and Friends:

We are thrilled to invite you to the AIPLA 2024 Annual Meeting, taking place from October 24 to 26 at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, MD.

Join us for a dynamic three-day event featuring Committee Business Meetings, CLE panels, Skills Workshops, and social events designed to foster learning, networking, and collaboration among IP professionals from around the world.

The Skills Workshops were introduced at the 2024 Spring Meeting in Austin, Texas and were a resounding success! Given the enthusiasm, we are excited to expand workshop choices for the Annual Meeting. These new, hands-on workshops have limited enrollment and fill up quickly, so we hope you will take advantage of the early bird savings, register for the Annual Meeting, and enroll in a Skills Workshop!

We are also pleased to announce our first Keynote Luncheon Speaker – Register of Copyrights The Honorable Shira Perlmutter!

We look forward to presenting panels on all aspects of IP law, including hot topics ranging from:

• Updates on the Unified Patent Court
• Trademark Counterfeit Enforcement
• March-In Rights Under the Bayh-Dole Act
• Copyright preemption / Website and social media scraping
• Design Patent law
• Harmonization, Patent Litigation, and DEI in IP

Additionally, the Annual Meeting will include our ever-popular Diversity Reception, New Member/First-Time Attendee Reception, Opening Night Reception, Dinner Celebration, and more great networking and social events, allowing you the opportunity to connect with friends and peers.

We look forward to welcoming you in October!
