About Us

The American Intellectual Property Law Association is a national bar association constituted primarily of lawyers in private and corporate practice, in government service, and in the academic community. AIPLA represents a wide and diverse spectrum of individuals from law firms, companies, and institutions involved directly or indirectly in the practice of patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, and unfair competition law, as well as other fields of law affecting intellectual property. Our members represent both owners and users of intellectual property.

AIPLA's Career Center is a resource for jobseekers and employers to find and fill opportunities in Intellectual Property Law. Sign up for job alerts, search for qualified candidates, and utilize the niche community that AIPLA has created to take the next step in your career.
