2023 Ⓒ Boston Intellectual Property Law Association
It is my honor to serve as the President of the Boston Intellectual Property Law Association in this, our Centennial year. I hope those of you who were able to attend our recent marquee events, including the Annual Meeting and the 4th Annual Symposium, would agree that it was great seeing so many of our fellow intellectual property practitioners and catching up live and in person! I also want to report that we have received very positive feedback on our name change, particularly from law students who now see that the BIPLA is a great opportunity for anyone interested in practicing law related to any of the forms of intellectual property. We incorporated many of the features of our previous logo in the new design to celebrate our storied history, and as you may have seen, we are featuring a special Centennial logo this year.
I am especially proud of the great turnout we had at our 4th Annual Symposium. This was our second in person Symposium, held on April 10th and 11th at the Morgan Lewis offices in downtown Boston, and nearly 100 IP professionals joined us for the event! In addition to one and a half days of excellent content, we also enjoyed the opportunity to re-connect during two breakfasts, two lunches, a mixer on the 10th, and an exciting off-site cocktail reception sponsored by Kilburn & Strode LLP.
The next big event on the calendar is our annual Celebration of the Judiciary. Please join us for dinner at the John Joseph Moakley United States Courthouse on Tuesday, June 18, 2024 (save the date!) as we celebrate this year’s Honoree, The Honorable Indira Talwani of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts.
As we all settle back into what feels more and more normal after the Pandemic, we ask that everyone make a special effort to renew your membership and to encourage others in your practice or legal community to become members. The BIPLA is proud of the role it plays in advancing intellectual property discourse and building an important community among its practitioners throughout the First Circuit. Thank you for your ongoing commitment to our association, and do not hesitate to reach out with any questions, comments, or concerns. I can be reached at president@bipla.org. I would love to hear from you.
Joshua Dalton
President, Boston Intellectual Property Law Association
