Benefits of Membership
FICPI uniquely combines education and advocacy on topics around patents, trademarks and other forms of IP, with a focus on developing the professional excellence of individual members and the business and management aspects of their firms.
In addition, membership of the FICPI community creates shared business opportunities, rooted in the confidence of recommending any FICPI member in another country or region.
FICPI’s perspective and influence helps members to understand better, and to have a greater opportunity to impact, developments in the IP world, than if they were standing alone.
Clients recognise the quality of FICPI members. They have trust in members in their own country and any other regions in which they do business.
