Announcing a New LES Membership Program for Global IP Owners!
A simple plan for an IP Owner to enroll their employees around the world — in multiple LES societies — for a single price.
LESI is offering a pilot global membership program to IP Owner organizations* to provide the benefits of LES membership to their employees around the world for one annual fee.
For $5,000 per year**, IP Owners can enable their employees to participate in any of the 33 LES societies ensuring that your team is connected to the largest network of IP licensing professionals in the world.
Designed primarily for organizations with employees located in three or more global locations, the LES Global IP Owner Membership Program is coordinated through LESI — the LES International organization. The program provides a streamlined membership option for multi-national organizations who would like to enroll their employees around the world into multiple LES societies — for a single price! By doing so, it also creates more effective opportunities for employees and the global company to benefit from LES networking, education, advocacy and resources available to IP & licensing professionals. LES might also provide the best (or additional) opportunities for your global licensing team to meet at an LES meeting for your own strategic planning and outreach.
Furthermore, a handful of LES Societies (including LES USA & Canada), will also be contacting multi-national organizations in their country or region directly to discuss this new membership option.
*NOTE: IP Owner organizations include: Operating Companies¹, Academia (educational, non-profit and/or research institutions), and government entities (register by entity).
¹Operating Companies: This category includes commercial entities that develop and sell intellectual property based products and services: whether hardware-based, software-based, or information-based; whether chemical-based or material-based; whether energy-based, communication-based, or transportation-based; whether utility-based or security-based; whether reseller-based or financially-based; whether food-based or beverage-based; whether travel-based or entertainment-based; or whether based on any other type of field or value proposition outside the categories of Patent Licensing Firms, Intellectual Property Brokers, Intellectual Property Consultancies/Agents, Intellectual Property Law Firms, and Intellectual Property Management/Transaction Software, Software Services, and Information Services Firms.
**NOTE: The total number of employees for each Global IP Owner member may be limited depending on the societies where they are located (because society dues vary). The initial intake form includes 12 employees.
