AIPPI’s (Association Internationale pour la Protection de la Propriété Intellectuelle) 41st World Intellectual Property Congress is being held in the United States for the first time in 33 years. AIPPI is concerned with all types of intellectual property rights (including patents, trademarks, and copyrights). It is the oldest global intellectual property association, and has the respect and ear of governments and global organizations, such as the World Intellectual Property Organization and the World Trade Organization. Since it was founded in 1897, AIPPI has been consulted (and still is) by decision makers worldwide on current intellectual property issues.

The Congress is being held in the city of Boston, at the new Convention and Exhibition Center. Boston is a particularly appropriate venue for this meeting, as it is the home of two of the world’s premier universities and research institutions, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University, and the location of many famous innovations, such as the telephone, the safety razor, and many important breakthroughs in medicine and life sciences.
