For more than 80 years, the Los Angeles Intellectual Property Law Association has been a preeminent intellectual property law organization. Although LAIPLA attracts members from across the nation and internationally, we focus on serving the needs of local IP practitioners. We have over 2,000 active members that range from large and small law firms, solo practitioners, and law students, to government and in-house attorneys.
LAIPLA is proud to offer a diverse array of programming throughout the year. From annual full or even multi-day conferences focused on cutting edge issues in technology law and entertainment, patent prosecution and IP litigation, to regular social events throughout Los Angeles, there is an LAIPLA event for everyone. Please click here to learn more about our events.
LAIPLA is open to everyone! We have many different committees focusing on all aspects of IP. Please click here to learn about our committees and how you can get involved.
LAIPLA aims to serve at the vanguard of promoting diversity in the IP legal community. To this end, each year we award an LAIPLA Diversity and Inclusion Fellowship to two meritorious recipients. The Diversity and Inclusion Fellowship award provides a stipend for a law student to work for 10 weeks in an in-house legal department at a participating company. For information on the Diversity and Inclusion Fellowship program or how to apply, please contact office@laipla.net.
LAIPLA is an approved MCLE provider (#2083) by the State Bar of California.
