THE INSTITUTE OF INTERNATIONAL LICENSING PRACTITIONERS A professional association of individuals and firms engaged in commercialising invention through the transfer of technology and the licensing of intellectual property.history of the Institute The Institute was originally founded in Great Britain in 1969 as the National Institute of Licensing Practitioners. In 1976, as the membership expanded to other countries and because of the largely international nature of technology transfer, the Institute was formally constituted as The Institute of International Licensing Practitioners. In 1994 the Institute merged with and subsequently incorporated the Licensing, Innovation & Technology Consultants’ Association (LITCA) based in Liechtenstein. The IILP was the first and still is the only professional body of its kind in the English speaking world representing independent licensing and technology transfer consultants and agents around the world. our aims & objectives The principal aim of the Institute, which has proved increasingly important in the public interest, is to set, promote and maintain high standards of professional practice amongst those providing consultancy services related to the commercial exploitation of technology and invention through means which include the transfer of technology and licensing of intellectual property. The Institute’s wider aims include raising public awareness of licensing as a business development tool and educating business, governmental and professional agencies in the role of technology transfer and licensing. This is achieved through measures such as participation at conferences and other media events, liaising with appropriate bodies in the UK and overseas, publishing articles and contributing to audio-visual media programmes generally. for more information, please see our website or contact:The Secretary page last updated: 27 Apr 2009 |
