  Support the Future of Women in IP

  Founded in 2007 in Palo Alto, the Women’s Intellectual Property Lawyers Association (WIPLA) stands as one of the first independent organizations dedicated exclusively to women in the intellectual property field. While women have made significant strides across the legal landscape, their representation in IP remains alarmingly low.

  WIPLA is committed to changing that narrative. Currently focused on the San Francisco Bay Area, we provide a vital forum for interaction, communication, and professional advancement. By becoming a sponsor, you help us empower practitioners, foster cordial professional relations, and highlight the invaluable contributions of women in IP.

  • Web Presence: Your firm’s logo will be prominently displayed on the WIPLA website under the Organization Sponsors section.

  
  

  Important Guidelines

  • Usage: Sponsors may not use the words “official” or “exclusive” in connection with their sponsorship. WIPLA trademarks may not be used in any manner outside of the terms listed above.

  • Liability: Sponsors agree to hold WIPLA harmless for any potential liability arising from the sponsor’s use of WIPLA trademarks.
