The International Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property or AIPPI, an acronym for Association Internationale pour la Protection de la Propriété Intellectuelle in French (formerly International Association for the Protection of Industrial Property), is a non-profit international organisation (NGO). Its members are intellectual property (IP) professionals, academics, owners of intellectual property and others interested in the subject. AIPPI was established in 1897.
Objective and composition
The objective of AIPPI is to improve and promote intellectual property protection. It pursues this objective by working to improve relevant agreements and laws. For example in 2019 AIPPI Secretary General Sirakova signed a memorandum of understanding with Francis Gurry of the World Intellectual Property Organization. AIPPI currently consists of 23 active Standing Committees which advise AIPPI on policy, regulatory and legal frameworks relating, to trademarks and other IP protection.
