ilevy@goodwinprocter.comAbout the New York Intellectual Property Law Association:The New York Intellectual Property Law Association was founded more than eighty-five years ago, as an organization through which patent lawyers in New York could make their views known in Washington and provide support for the judiciary. Over the years, the NYIPLA evolved into an association that serves as a vehicle to promote the development and administration of all forms of intellectual property interests. The NYIPLA strives to educate the public and members of the bar in this field and continually works with foreign associations to harmonize the substance and interpretation of international conventions for the protection of intellectual property. Today, the NYIPLA consists of nearly 1,700 intellectual property attorneys practicing throughout the United States and abroad.
