The San Francisco Intellectual Property Association (SFIPLA ) was founded in 1927 and originally named the San Francisco Patent and Trademark Law Association. In 1995, the name of the organization was changed to SFIPLA. SFIPLA is one of the oldest and largest intellectual property law associations in the western United States. Today, SFIPLA has over 1000 members, all of whom practice intellectual property law in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The purpose of the SFIPLA is to educate its members and the public about developments in intellectual property law, to instill a high standard of ethics among members, and to foster a sense of community.
