The Intellectual Property Section of the Georgia Bar was founded in 1964 to provide information about intellectual property law to its members and to the community. Today the Section continues those goals and now boasts over 1000 members. The Section’s educational events, which are open to Section members as well as non-members, provide timely legal updates regarding copyright, patents, trademarks, and intellectual property licensing and litigation. The Section also provides newsletters, networking opportunities, and podcasts of educational materials.
The Intellectual Property Section is considered one of the most active sections of the Georgia Bar. Since 2000, the State Bar has recognized the Intellectual Property Section as Section of the Year twice (2003; 2006, jointly with Family Law Section) and has received three Achievement Awards (2002; 2004; and 2007).
