What American Intellectual Property Law Association does
Mission
The association was formed to maintain a high standard of professional ethics among its members and to aid in the institution of improvements in legal education and to provide information to the public in laws relating to patents, trademarks, copyrights, unfair competition and other intellectual property.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs

Conferences and meetings are conducted thorughout the year (annual, mid-winter and spring) and range from 60-minute webinars to 2,000 person, 3-4 day conferences. Programs performed virtually, and range from introductory to advanced instruction. The organization also held about fifteen seminars during the year (each averaging about 50 participants), as well as ran online educational programs (each averaging about 50-200 participants).
Bulletin & publications: publications covering association news and information advertisement of positions available and services offered by intellectual property law attorneys, as well as product of meetings and books covering intellectual property laws. The organization published three e-bulletins during the year.
Journal - forum for views and ideas regarding intellectual property laws. The organization published four quarterly journals during the year.
Programs
The 4 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990, listed largest first by expense.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $4.2M to $7.0M (+67%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2022 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
