LAIPLA is proud to present a networking event featuring a presentation by Rich Goldstein, of Goldstein Patent Law, “Business Development – Creating, Cultivating, and Maintaining Relationships that Generate IP Work.”

The International Federation of Intellectual Property Attorneys (FICPI) hosts this annual conference and social event to bring together IP attorneys from the U.S. (“A”), the U.K. (“B”), and Canada (“C”), although FICPI members worldwide may attend. The professional program focuses on current IP issues, with presentations and discussions, while the social outings and events help to foster greater communication and understanding between the membership.

The focus of this conference will be innovative tools for law practice management, including apps, cloud-based services, and transitioning to a paperless office, as well as diversity, communication and other workplace issues.

Hosted by Intellectual Asset Management (IAM) magazine, the IPBC is an annual event that gathers senior thought leaders from around the world to discuss IP value creation strategies and challenges, and to induct new members into the IP Hall of Fame.

World Intellectual Property Day 26 April 2013

In 2001, the World Intellectual Property Organization’s member states designated April 26 – the day on which the WIPO Convention came into force in 1970 – as World IP Day, with the aim of increasing general understanding of IP. This year’s theme is “Creativity: The Next Generation,” and in New York, our focus is on fashion.
