Intellectual Property Law Section:  By-Laws  •  Officers and Council for 2007 - 2008  •  Committees for 2007 - 2008

With over 2000 members, the Intellectual Property Law Section is composed of attorneys who practice in or otherwise have an interest in the law relating to patents, trademarks, copyrights, unfair competition, trade secrets, the internet and other technology related areas.

Our Section members include a diverse spectrum of attorneys in private and corporate practice, in government service, and in the academic community.

The primary goal of the Intellectual Property Law Section is to promote the understanding of intellectual property and related areas of law as well as to provide a forum for the discussion of intellectual property issues and for the exchange of ideas on such issues. The Section sponsors continuing legal education (CLE) seminars covering intellectual property law topics including the Advance Intellectual Property Law Seminar scheduled each Spring. In conjunction with the University of Texas School of Law, the Section co-sponsors the Texas Intellectual Property Law Journal, published three times a year. Membership in the Section includes a subscription to this nationally recognized legal journal.
