American Innovators for Patent Reform (AIPR) is a professional society of inventors, patent owners, researchers, engineers, business owners, company executives, patent attorneys, patent agents and other IP professionals involved in creating or protecting innovation and advocating for stronger patent protection.

A not-for-profit trade association, AIPR was founded by Alexander Poltorak, its current president, to promote stronger patent protection in the United States. AIPR’s membership is opened to all members of the IP community who are involved in the creation, management, promotion, transfer, licensing and/or protection of patents and other intellectual property. AIPR advocates strong and enforceable IP rights and provides a variety of services to members.

AIPR concentrates on:
• Ensuring that America continues to be the world’s primary source of inventions, new technologies and innovation
• Honoring the Founding Fathers’ directive that the US government protect the intellectual property of inventors
• Supporting our members’ interests relating to IP law and legislative issues
• Promoting patent reform proposals that will strengthen the US patent system
• Analyzing all new patent reform proposals
• Providing information and educational services to the IP community
• Disseminating information to the general public on issues related to intellectual property rights and patent reform

AIPR's Sponsors and Board of Directors include some of the most distinguished members of the IP community.
