What We Do

What can PIIPA's IP Corps do to help? PIIPA is building a network linking people who need help with IP professionals who can represent them. This establishes a framework for action. PIIPA's global approach can be scaled up as needed and ensures that IP professional resources are the right size, available at the right time, and in the right place PIIPA's IP Corps can take the following specific types of actions for developing country organizations: file patent applications file trademark application attack and invalidate patents attack and invalidate trademark registrations search and analyze patent portfolios to determine freedom to operate negotiate bioprospecting access and benefit sharing agreements negotiate agreements providing access to medicine counsel governments on legislative initiatives involving IP protection, e.g. genetic resources, traditional knowledge, and access to medicine help governments and NGOs involved in treaty negotiation litigate patent and trademark infringement and compulsory license cases These are unique services not provided by other organizations working on capacity building and training.
