Dear Prospective Sponsor:
2011 began with many of exciting changes for our organization. First and foremost, the Association of Patent Law Firms changed its name to the Association of Intellectual Property Firms (AIPF) to more specifically signify the inclusion of trademarks and copyright within the compounds of our Association. We also have expanded our membership to include IP Counsel, Academics and Emeritus categories and enriched programming.
The Association of Intellectual Property Firms invites you to be a partner of our renewed Association to increase your visibility and exposure in the global IP community generally.
Special WebIPHours™ are being offered with Robert L. Stoll of the USPTO presenting on October 26, 2011 and Stuart S. Levy, an expert on the workings of the USPTO, presenting on November 9, 2011 which will discuss the Congressional passage of patent reform. You can be a part of these presentations as a sponsor. Based on expected high-demand, these two WebIPHours™ are priced at $2,500.
The AIPF is an international association of independent IP boutique firms that devote a majority of their practice to PTC law. AIPF member firms distinguish themselves by their excellence in the sciences and technical arts, as well as IP law and procedures. The Association provides leadership by developing, facilitating and implementing programs that strengthen the capabilities of member firms. Our programs include not only continuing legal education but also other essentials for excellence in contemporary IP practice, such as firm leadership, management, client-focus technology and systems. The AIPF Brand of Excellence refers to these attributes which create a clear business advantage for owners and licensees of IP rights.
AIPF educates its members and broad constituencies a variety of ways:
Website – The AIPF website is a wealth of member information and is the most accessible source of current information for the Association. Webinars are promoted, Bugle issues are published, member and meeting information are presented.
WebIPHours™ – Our webinars are presented for CLE credit or business improvement. They are free for members and corporate counsel. Webinars are promoted through email blasts, on the website, and as a membership marketing tool. Sponsors of the webinars would also be promoted with the sponsored webinars and are an ideal way for your message to be distributed.
IP Bugle – The monthly e-newsletter composed of member and IP news distributed to our 6,000+ mailing list including members and IP corporate counsel. Banner and box advertising will be prominently displayed both in the emailed newsletter and in the issue posted on the website.
Annual Meeting –
The 2011 AIPF Annual Meeting was an outstanding program including featured speakers Philip S. Johnson of Johnson & Johnson, Bruce J. Hendricks of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, programs on business development, marketing, social media, ethics, and a variety of legal topics.
Information on the 2012 Annual Meeting will be available at the beginning of 2012.
The following pages outline some of our sponsorships, but we are flexible and offer many different levels of partnership. We are happy to customize a sponsorship package to fit your needs and budget.
If you have any questions or would like additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Regards,
Lynda Dickey
