AIPLA Committees

With nearly 60 committees focused on a wide-array of specialties and topics, there is a place for every member to get involved. 

Our committees are the heartbeat of AIPLA and thousands of members actively contribute their time, talent, and expertise to the advancement of their careers, the association, and the IP profession. 

Participation in committee work also exposes you to additional member benefits, provides leadership opportunities and expands your professional network. 

Committee List

AIPLA has over 60 committees that focus on a variety of IP-related legal practice areas and issues.

Through reports, amicus briefs, testimony, statements and letters developed by committee members, AIPLA comments on public policy and legislation.

The committees also produce dozens of events and webinars per year.

Join/Leave a Committee

AIPLA members can join a committee at any point during their membership. There is no extra charge to join and no requirement to participate as a non-voting member.  Being a non-voting member of a committee allows you to receive the committee's emails so that you are aware of its opportunities, events and resources.  Non-voting members may leave a committee at any time.

Members may choose to become a voting member of a committee during Open Season each fall.  There are participation requirements for being a voting member of a committee.
