IPR Industry Contacts

Industry associations representing the intellectual property rights sectors (copyright, trademark and patent) are very active in Washington, DC as well as in many major overseas markets.  Representatives from these industry associations can be excellent resources for “on the ground” perspectives and intelligence.  Their websites often provide in-depth materials on the quality of IPR protection in a particular region, their industry’s Special 301 submissions, and many offer educational information for businesses on IPR protection.
