The IP Law Associations Committee works to foster beneficial relationships with Regional and Local associations in the United States having an interest in intellectual property law and encourages cooperation with those associations in educational activities. The President-Elect appoints the members of the Committee for a term of three years. Members are drawn from a variety of geographic regions in the United States.
The Committee maintains a compilation, organized by state, of the leaders from the Regional and Local IP associations. The Committee relies on the Regional Local IP Associations to assist it in maintaining the currency of the information.
Some of the initiaves that this Committee has undertaken with the Regional Groups include:(1) informing the Regional and Local IP Associations about AIPLA activities; (2) providing Regional and Local IP Associations with information on CLE programs; and (3) providing other resources to enhance the exchange of information between AIPLA and the Regional and Local Associations.
