What We Do

We focus on all the ways law and lawyers participate in shaping the information age, from intellectual property law to trade policy; from pharmaceuticals to publishing; from privacy rights to free expression principles; from Silicon Alley to Madison Avenue.

Support the Center
St John's alumni are leaders in every area of intellectual property law practice and in technological and creative industries.
Our graduates include general counsels at some of the world's most valuable and innovative high-tech companies, managing partners and heads of intellectual property practice at some of the country's top law firms, and practitioners and entrepreneurs in nearly every field of technological and creative endeavor. The IPLC is a place where our alumni can come together to benefit from one another's experience and build connections with faculty and current St. John's students. Here are some ways you can support our community.
Donate
The IPLC depends on the generosity of our successful alumni to recruit, support, and train the next generation of St. John's lawyers; to provide programming and networking opportunities; and to advance our research and advocacy work.

Network
The IPLC serves the needs of our stakeholders by organizing CLE and social events at which students, alumni, and faculty can meet, learn, and network.
