DESCRIPTION
AIPPI is a French acronym for the International Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property. The organization is over 100 years old, dating back to the Treaty of Paris, and holds an international congress every other year. The congress is the largest meeting of general intellectual property attorneys in the world. The Boston meeting will be AIPPI's 41st Congress and the first one in the United States since 1975.
