The International Federation of Intellectual Property Attorneys is established.
The International Federation of Intellectual Property Attorneys (French: Fédération Internationale des Conseils en Propriété Intellectuelle, FICPI; formerly known as the International Federation of Industrial Property Attorneys), is a non-political, international, professional body of intellectual property professionals, i.e., patent attorneys and trademark attorneys, in private practice (as opposed to intellectual property professionals working in the industry). FICPI was established on September 1, 1906 and is based in Basel, Switzerland.
Julian Crump, a patent attorney, is the current president of FICPI.
