Intellectual Property Lawyers

Unions and Associations

Intellectual property (IP) lawyers who are employed by the government can become members of the American Federation of Government Employees. The most important professional organization for IP attorneys is the American Intellectual Property Law Association. This organization fosters the professional and leadership development of IP lawyers and serves as a global leader in intellectual property matters. Benefits include continuing education and networking opportunities. Local chapters of intellectual property law associations and other bar associations are also good resources. Other helpful organizations include the International Intellectual Property Alliance and the National Association of Patent Practitioners.
