Welcome to the homepage
of the Institute of Intellectual Property and Social Justice
(IIPSJ). IIPSJ's purpose is to address the manifold
ways in which social justice, both domestically and globally, is affected
by intellectual property-related matters ranging from the substance
of the law to the mix of those who practice it.
IIPSJ's first and largest program is the Institute of Intellectual Property at Howard University School of Law. IIPSJ also engages in projects not directly connected to or sponsored by the law school.
IIPSJ, Inc., in partnership with the Finnegan Henderson law firm just completed the 5th Annual IIPSJ CLE at Howard University School of Law. The program schedule is online and photographs from the event can be viewed online.
