For more than 80 years, the Los Angeles Intellectual Property Law Association (LAIPLA) has been one of the nation’s preeminent intellectual property law organizations, serving the needs of the local IP community. We have over 1,000 members that range from law firms, to solo practitioners, to government and in-house attorneys alike.
We offer a diverse array of programming, including full-day seminars that cover legal issues relevant to patent, copyright, trademark, trade secrets and other areas of IP. We also provide programs geared toward bringing the judiciary and the local IP bar together, with our Judges’ Night Gala and our LAIPLA Goes to Court Program. We additionally have initiated programs targeted to membership sub-groups such as Young Lawyers, Women in IP, and Small Firm and Solo Practitioners.
LAIPLA has been at the vanguard of promoting diversity in the IP legal community, by awarding annually the LAIPLA Diversity Fellowship which provides a $6,000 stipend for a law student to work for 10 weeks in an in-house legal department at a participating company.
We have expanded our membership offering and now offer free memberships to the following categories: Law Students, Government Attorneys, Paralegals, Judicial Officers and Professors. In addition, we have created a deep discount for Small Firms (with under 25 lawyers in all offices) and Young Lawyers (lawyers who graduated from law school ten years ago or less). And of course, we continue to offer a discount to brand new Member Firms.
LAIPLA is a non-profit organization that is continually growing to meet the needs of its membership
