The American Intellectual Property Law Association (AIPLA) appreciates the opportunity to present its views with regard to the issues considered at the “Patent Assertion Entity Activities Workshop” (“Workshop”), jointly conducted on December 10, 2012, by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ).

AIPLA believes that the Workshop explored important issues related to patent enforcement, both abusive and legitimate, which require careful attention to balance the interests of patent owners and users of technology.
