Pat-Got

an International IP Organization

Pat-Got is an organization of Intellectual Property Law professionals from around the world. Pat-Got promotes the exchange of country specific IP information and updates in a collegial, friendly, and relaxing manner through small group discussions. Some of the unique aspects of Pat-Got are the less formal dress code, and that attendees do not wear name tags.

In addition to the educational and networking aspects of Pat-Got, members always find time for enjoying fine cuisine and other activities, including golf and tennis.

Pat-Got conferences are held annually in various countries at various sites that are selected by its members. Generally the venues of the conferences have alternated among the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa. While the conferences often have been held between September and November of each year, there have been exceptions in which the conference has been held in July or August.

The 2023 conference was held in Ireland from 10 September to 15 September.  The 2024 conference will be held at Los Cabos, Mexico.

ABOUT

The International Pat-Got Association was founded on the premise that a relatively small group of people with a common interest in Intellectual Property would benefit by meeting once a year to become better acquainted and exchange information about intellectual property developments. The philosophy is that Pat-Got meetings would develop more learned professionals and lead to closer friendships and more sincere and fruitful business relationships. 

MEMBERSHIP

Interested IP professionals may request an application form from the executive. Each application requires a nomination from two current members. Membership is open to IP practitioners that are in private practice, and that in addition to networking and educational activities, would also enjoy a friendly game of tennis or golf. Pat-Got is committed to diversity of membership from different countries. Admission as a member is at the sole discretion of the executive. Members are expected to pay the annual dues (USA$150 / 150€ in 2023) and attend at least 50% of the meetings.
