The U.S. Group of the International Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property (AIPPI-US) is planning for its Annual Meeting to be held in Houston, Texas in April 2012 and the AIPPI 43rd World IP Congress to be held in Seoul, Korea in October 2012. The U.S. Group is staffing committees now for Seoul working questions on patents, trademarks, copyrights and traditional knowledge. U.S. Group Reports will be written, submitted and distributed internationally in May and debated with other national groups in Seoul in October culminating in AIPPI resolutions on these important IP issues.
