The Student Intellectual Property Law Association (SIPLA) is an American voluntary association for law students interested in intellectual property (IP) law. SIPLA chapters typically organize at law schools with an intellectual property curriculum. There is no national SIPLA body, and independent student chapters have formed to organize intellectual property-related events and provide law students networking and learning opportunities.
Typical SIPLA objectives
