Key Initiatives
- The Committee coordinates with other AIPLA committees on international IP matters that are relevant to the jurisdiction of such Committees.
- It also frequently works with other Committees to jointly develop programs on areas having a wide appeal to members on domestic and international issues, such as global portfolio development and enforcement, continuing harmonization efforts and IP actions before the WTO.
- Likewise it reviews and provides comments on international issues for the Board of Directors and the Executive Director.
