Description

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 Sirakova signed a memorandum of understanding with Francis Gurry of the World Intellectual Property Organization.[4]

AIPPI President Renata Righetti Pelosi

It studies national laws and proposes measures to achieve international harmonization of these laws on an international basis. Where appropriate, AIPPI intervenes with submissions before major courts and legislative bodies to advocate for strengthened intellectual property protection.[5] AIPPI currently consists of 23 active Standing Committees which advise AIPPI on policy, regulatory and legal frameworks relating,[6] to trademarks and other IP protection.

Leadership

Renata Righetti Pelosi was elected President in September 2018, when she took over from Hao Ma.[1][7] The Secretary General of the organisation in 2018 was Olga Sirakova. In September 2018, 1400 delegates met in Mexico for a four day annual conference representing the organisation's 9,000 members.[8]
