International Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property
Summary
The International Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property or AIPPI, an acronym for Association Internationale pour la Protection de la Propriété Intellectuelle in French (formerly International Association for the Protection of Industrial Property), is a non-profit international organisation (NGO). Its members are intellectual property (IP) professionals, academics, owners of intellectual property and others interested in the subject. AIPPI was established in 1897.
The International Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property, known as AIPPI, is the world’s leading non-profit association dedicated to the development and improvement of laws for the protection of intellectual property. It is a politically neutral, non-profit organisation, based in Switzerland with over 8000 members worldwide from 131 countries.
AIPPI’s members are private practitioners and in-house lawyers, attorneys and agents, as well as judges, academics and government officials.
AIPPI is organised into 68 National and 2 Regional Groups. Membership in AIPPI is obtained by joining one of these National or Regional Groups of AIPPI. In countries where no Group exists, individuals may be granted Independent Membership directly in AIPPI.
The objective of AIPPI is to improve and promote the protection of intellectual property on both international and national levels. It pursues this objective by working for the development, expansion and improvement of international and regional treaties, agreements and national laws. By working to improve and harmonise IP protection at international meetings, mutual understanding across national borders is deepened. Where appropriate, AIPPI intervenes with submissions before major courts and legislative bodies to advocate for strengthened IP protection.
Committees within AIPPI monitor current developments, long-range projects, and conduct AIPPI’s substantive work: the study of issues of topical concern in the IP world.
