Esteemed Colleagues,

The Boston Patent Law Association is pleased to announce a new membership category for our Foreign Counsel. Attorneys, patent agents, and trademark agents, admitted in courts and intellectual property offices outside of the United States, are now encouraged to apply to join the BPLA.

Founded in 1924, the BPLA has been bringing together friends and colleagues to advance intellectual property and the legal profession, and to promote the rule of law, for almost 100 years. Our amicus briefs are cited by the U.S. Supreme Court, our administrative comments influence new regulations and our meetings and presentations draw attendees and speakers from across the legal profession, from the federal government and judiciary, and from academia and industry.

We hope that you will join us, bringing your knowledge and creativity, and helping us build a robust and vibrant intellectual property system for the benefit of all.

An application for membership is available at this . Please do not hesitate to contact me personally with any questions or concerns at . And welcome to the BPLA! Michael Bergman President
