Corporate IP Institute
Jointly organized by:
About
For over 15 years, the Corporate Intellectual Property Institute® (CIPI) has been a leading forum where corporate IP teams, outside counsel, and consultants share practical experience—what works, what doesn’t, and what they need to succeed in today’s changing IP landscape. It offers a rich program of CLE sessions and networking.
CIPI gives practical, usable advice for everyday IP work: portfolio strategy, litigation and enforcement, licensing and monetization, international issues, and how IP intersects with data, AI, and business strategy. Sessions are run by practitioners who share lessons, case studies, and tested methods attendees can use right away.
In recent years, leaders from nearly 100 companies have spoken at CIPI, with many more represented throughout the audience. Each year, CIPI brings together one of the largest gatherings of in‑house corporate IP professionals
