Welcome to the Boston Patent Law Association
The Boston Patent Law Association (BPLA) is an association of intellectual property
professionals, providing educational programs and a forum for the interchange of ideas and
information concerning patent, trademark, and copyright laws.
Through a volunteer Board of Governors and
its various committees, the BPLA organizes
and hosts educational seminars,
social events and
conventions.
The Association also comments
on rules and legislation affecting the profession.
Membership in the BPLA is available to attorneys and other professionals
practicing intellectual property law within the Federal First Judicial Circuit (Maine,
New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Puerto Rico). If you are interested in joining
the Association, please fill out a copy of our
Membership Application.
Attorneys practicing within the First Circuit may purchase full memberships for as low as
$90.00 per year (when qualifying for the "early-renewal"
discount of $25.00). Attorneys practicing outside
the First Circuit, and certain students and
various other intellectual property professionals qualify for Associate/Student Membership at an annual fee
as low as $80.00. Mailing-list-only affiliation costs
$35.00 annually.
