WELCOME TO CIPLA
The CIPLA was founded in 1946 as the Connecticut Patent Law Association to promote a standard of ethics within the profession of patent attorneys.
In 2001, we changed our name to the CIPLA to broaden our scope and recognize the relationship between patent law and other fields of intellectual property law.
We now have approximately 150 members who meet on a regular basis continuing the association's goals of promoting a standard of ethics and professionalism among members.
