Dear Member of AIPPI-US:

Register today and save 350 euros on the AIPPI-Paris 42nd World Congress (Oct. 3-6, 2010) . See http://www.aippi.net. The early registration discount ends Monday, May 31. As you know, Paris is a popular city, and this Congress will be attended by participants from all over the world, offering networking opportunities, high quality programs on intellectual property issues of current interest, a cultural night at the Louvre, and a gala dinner at Versailles.

The online registration process is rather complicated, requiring a user name and password, which can take a day or more to obtain. If you are unable to complete online registration by May 31 and you wish to obtain the early registration discount, consider faxing your registration form to the fax number on the “registration information” page. As a convenience to new members, a one-step “join and register” option is available.

A variety of hotel options are available. While no recommendations are offered, it is known that at least a few members of AIPPI-US plan to stay at the Meridien Etoile, a four star “headquarter” hotel near the meeting site (Palais de Congres).

Invoices and reminders for 2010 AIPPI-US dues have been distributed. If you have not already done so, please take a moment today to process your dues payment to maintain your AIPPI membership in good standing. Membership is required for attendance at the World Congress and other membership benefits.

AIPPI is the world's leading non-government organization for research into and formulation of normative policy for the laws of various countries relating to t he protection of intellectual property. With 9,000 members organized into national groups, AIPPI unites practitioners, academics and owners of intellectual property.

Thank you for your support of AIPPI.

Sincerely,

Richard P. Beem
President, AIPPI-US
