LAW FIRMS ASSOCIATONS USA
• Association of Patent Law Firms (APLF)
The Association of Patent Law Firms (APLF) is an international association of law firms that devote a majority of their practice to patent law. Practicing attorneys of our member firms are skilled and experienced in the areas of patent application work, litigation, and counseling services. We seek to fill a void that has been left by other organizations that have broadened their base to the general field of "intellectual property law." As an alliance strictly of patent law firms, a major objective is to jointly promote the advantages realized by clients when they select a patent law firm for patent application work, litigation, and counseling services.
