HNBA/VIA’s IPLI is a trailblazing intellectual property and tech law immersion program. Each year the IPLI selects up to 30 students from law schools across the country to participate in this intellectual property immersion and tech law program. Admittance to the program is highly selective and competitive. Once selected, candidates spend a week in the Nation’s Capital, Washington D.C., and participate in substantive educational programming, hands-on practical experiences, writing and interviewing workshops and mentoring and networking opportunities. Upon completion, IPLI Scholars then become eligible to apply for a Patent Bar Scholarship or Bar Prep Course Scholarship.
