Facilitating the creation, protection, and enablement of intellectual property

Innovation and intellectual property (IP) protection are critical assets that drive robust economic growth and improve social well-being in the United States.  And issues positively and negatively impacting IP are global, national and local.  To address these challenges a new voice is needed to ensure improved creation, protection, and enablement of intellectual property in Illinois.

​

The mission of the Illinois IP Alliance (Alliance) is to serve as a connecting hub for local and regional organizations, fostering an effective ecosystem and marketplace to facilitate the creation, protection, and enablement of intellectual property.  This connecting hub will encourage innovation for the economic and social well-being of Illinois citizens.  The Alliance will be a founding chapter to the United States Intellectual Property Alliance (USIPA).
