Invitation for In-House Corporate Counsel First-Time Attendees
AIPLA launched a pilot program to encourage in-house corporate counsel to attend AIPLA major meetings to
see first-hand the outstanding CLE programs we provide.
We are pleased to continue this special offer for the 2013 Spring Meeting. For individuals who have never attended an AIPLA major meeting, such as a Spring, Annual or Mid-Winter Meeting, who are also corporate in-house
counsel, AIPLA will waive the registration fee. Tickets to the events are not included in this registration. You will
need to pay for those events separately. This waiver of fees is available for one stated meeting only.
To take advantage of this one-time offer, simply complete the registration form and fax it to us at (703) 412-1304.
Once AIPLA has verified that this is your first major meeting and that you meet the in-house corporate counsel
criteria, you will receive a registration confirmation. Our hope is that you enjoy your experience at your first AIPLA
meeting and that you will join us again for future programs and become more actively involved with the work of
the Association, especially through involvement with the Committees.
If you qualify for this special offer, please select the box listed as “first-time corporate in-house counsel” on the
registration form.
Recruit and Save! Our Member-Get-a-Member Program
Take a look at the benefits of recruiting a new member:
• For each Regular, Patent Agent (in practice more than five years), or Foreign Affiliate member recruited, you
can deduct $50 from your registration fee and deduct $25 for each Junior or Patent Agent-Junior member
you recuit. There is no limit to the discount you can earn.
• You will receive an invitation to attend the New Member/First-Time Attendee Reception, Wednesday, May 1,
2013, 6:30–7:30 pm.
To recruit new members, tell them about the special benefits of joining now:
• A non-member who applies for Regular, Junior, or Foreign Affiliate membership by May 13, 2013 will receive
membership through June 30, 2014.
• They can register for the 2013 Spring Meeting at the member rate of $855 instead of the non-member rate of
$1,380—a savings of $455! Register before April 2, 2013, and save an additional $100 off the registration fee!
• Each new member who registers for the Spring Meeting will also receive a special invitation in their registration
packet to attend the New Member/First-Time Attendee Reception.
Go to http://www.aipla.org/about/join/ to download the Membership Application Form specifically for this
membership drive, or access it from the Spring Meeting Homepage.
After the newly recruited member has completed the membership application form(s):

About the AIPPI-US Division of AIPLA
AIPPI and the AIPPI-US Division of AIPLA offer an excellent opportunity to make a difference in international IP law. AIPPI brings together leaders from many national groups on a level playing field,
providing unique opportunities to learn about IP law in other countries. One of the important benefits
of membership in the AIPPI-US Division of AIPLA is the chance to meet and get to know top US and
international IP lawyers and to learn about US intellectual property law in an international context.
AIPPI Resolutions can and do provide support for international and national lawmakers, advocates and decision-makers
engaged in the work of advancing the development of IP treaties and laws and in applying such authority to determine
the rights of parties. WIPO and the “IP5,” i.e., USPTO, EPO, JPO, SIPO, KIPO, as well as other regional and national patent or
intellectual property offices, legislatures and courts, are among the important organizations and institutions to receive such
input from AIPPI.
Don’t miss out on an opportunity to meet some of the leaders of AIPPI and get a preview of the draft responses to
the 2013 Working Questions that will be debated at the 2013 ExCo and Forum in Helsinki, Finland this coming September
on Wednesday, May 1, from 3:30 - 5:30 pm.
Membership in AIPPI provides opportunities to contribute in Working Committees uniquely focused on working questions
related to international IP law. AIPPI members can also participate in US and international AIPPI meetings with interesting
scientific and social/cultural programs, often involving interesting travel to leading cities in the US and other countries of the
world. In AIPPI, each active member increases his or her knowledge and skills in US and international IP law and advocacy,
and thereby advances the IP and legal systems at home and across the globe, while getting to know key players personally.
And if you’re not yet a member of AIPPI-US, join today! Please visit the AIPPI-US website at www.aippi-us.org for
more information.
