Membership

Membership is limited to IP professionals in private practice that devote at least 50% of their professional time on IP matters, and have a golf handicap of at most 28 (men) or 36 (women). An application may be requested by sending an email to the address at the bottom of this page.

Each application requires a nomination from two current members. At conferences, members, often accompanied by their spouse, will enjoy a conference that has a relaxed dress code (generally golf attire), fine cuisine, small group professional and social networking, friendly and competitive golf, and pickleball, or tennis, and optional sightseeing and cultural events. Pat-Got is committed to having its members and executive 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 in 2025) and attend at least 50% of the meetings.
