Looking toward 2022, the BPLA Board invites members to consider whether they wish to serve as a committee cochair. Committee cochairs have an opportunity to lead in our organization through planning both social and educational programs and engaging in substantive legal work by responding to USPTO proposed regulations, policies, or requests for comment or by preparing amicus briefs on important issues. Committee cochairs increase their profile in the greater Boston legal community through increased opportunities to network and by demonstrating their leadership abilities. The Board invites both returning cochairs to express their interest in continuing in their positions and new potential cochairs to volunteer. Please email to president@bpla.org, president-elect@bpla.org and vice-president@bpla.org to indicate your interest. The BPLA has the following committees: Activities and Public Relations AIPLA Moot Court Amicus Antitrust Biotechnology Business & Marketplace Case Law Chemical Patent Practice Computer Law Contested Matters Copyright Law Diversity & Inclusion Ethics In-House Practice International and Foreign Practice International Trade Commission (ITC) Invented Here!
