Intellectual Property Community Service Awards
The Intellectual Property Lifetime Achievement Award for Community Service is presented every three years to an individual working in the field of intellectual property who has made a lasting, measurable impact on society through sustained and significant community service. This award recognizes leaders whose professional expertise in IP has been applied beyond the office or courtroom to advance public understanding, access, equity, education, or concrete community wellbeing. The community service contributions for both awards do not have to be related to intellectual property.
Please direct any inquiries to Susan Wellborn, our IP Community Service Award Chairs.
