OCTOBER IS IP MONTH™
A month-long set of events grounded by governmental proclamations by local, regional, state/provincial and country governmental entities acknowledging the efforts by intellectual property creators, promoters and protectors and encouraging continued efforts throughout the year. Under the umbrella of the October IP month proclamations, corporate entities, academic institutions, law firms, judicial entities and government authorities can plan targeted, relevant events related to IP education, access and networking/collaboration.
We thank the State Intellectual Property Alliances, Governors & Partner organizations for their support on yearly basis of the October IP Month proclamations across the country.
