Sample IP Agreements
Here we maintain a collection of sample agreements relating to intellectual property transactions. Each agreement is annotated to explain the impact of specific provisions contained in the sample agreements. Please note that these agreements are exemplary; a sample agreement included here may not be ideal for every situation. Use them at your own risk.*
You can use the sample agreements in several ways:
- Go to the IP Agreement Summaries page (Login Required) to see a brief summary of each sample agreement, and to access the sample agreements (Word format). This page is useful if you are looking for examples of specific agreements (e.g., "I am trying to craft a material transfer agreement, and I want to see an example.")
- Go to the Index of Provisions page (Login Required) to see a searchable index of agreement provisions. This page is useful if you are looking for examples of specific agreement provisions (e.g., "I am trying to craft an indemnity provision, and I want to see examples from various agreements.")
* Nothing included in the sample agreements or elsewhere on this site should be considered legal advice on the part of AIPLA or any of its members.

Are you interested in staying current on patent prosecution practice or involved in cross-disciplinary practice? Are you a new or junior lawyer, a patent agent, or a technical advisor? Are you a foreign practitioner who wants to understand and speak the language of the USPTO and US practitioners when sending instructions on a US case or when receiving instructions on a local case?
If your answer is “yes” to any of the above questions, or if you simply love patent law, please join us in at AIPLA Headquarters in Arlington, VA for this 3-day patent prosecution seminar.
Now in its 25th year, AIPLA’s Patent Prosecution Boot Camp is a comprehensive, CLE-accredited seminar that includes instructional lecture-style sessions with practical tips on U.S. and international patent preparation and prosecution, as well as hands-on interactive workshops that will walk you through drafting claims and responding to office actions. To ensure that the workshops are relevant to your practice, they are held in smaller groups according to technology backgrounds: (1) Biotechnology/Chemical, (2) Electrical/Software, and (3) Mechanical.
Day 1 focuses on preparation of a patent application.
Day 2 focuses on prosecution of the application to grant.
Day 3 is a half-day program dedicated to more advanced topics such as petitions, appeals, post-grant proceedings, and international practice.
