The Dayton Intellectual Property Law Association is open to
patent attorneys and patent litigators in the Dayton, Ohio
area; law students interested in the field of intellectual
property are also welcome.
DIPLA was founded as the Dayton Patent Law Association.
Dayton, due its heritage of technical innovation, has long
been a focus of patenting with more than its share of
patent attorneys interested in maintaining the highest
standards of the profession, a tradition that DIPLA
continues and fosters through its monthly lunch meetings
and CLE programs.
