A definitive exploration of the professional characteristics of intellectual property attorneys and patent agents.

The Economic Survey is one of the premier and most sought-after publications of the Association. The Economic Survey’s results are often cited in judicial opinions, analyzed by research firms, and used by law firms alike.
