Welcome to the Intellectual Property Law Society (IPLS) at Chicago-Kent College of Law.
IPLS educates Chicago-Kent students on various opportunities available in the area of intellectual property law. While Chicago-Kent’s faculty educates IPLS members about substantive issues in Intellectual Property, practitioners from respectable Chicago law firms provide an insight on their professional expertise in the business.
IPLS plans to hold a number of events throughout the school year. These events are designed not only to educate, but also to enable students to have fun while participating actively in IPLS. These events include resume workshops, discussions with guest lecturers, and informal lunch sessions with members of the intellectual property faculty at Chicago-Kent. Collaborative exchanges with intellectual property student groups at other law schools will further expand the educational influence of IPLS. Click HERE to join IPLS.
