The Public Interest Patent Law Institute (PIPLI) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that works to ensure the patent system promotes innovation and access for the benefit of all. Most people depend on access to patented technology, but do not actively participate in the patent system even though it concretely affects their lives and livelihoods. This lack of representation prevents the patent system striking an appropriate balance between the interests of patent owners and the needs of the broader public. Our mission is to make the patent system strike this balance more fairly and effectively so that we all have more innovation, competition, and access to knowledge. Together, we will change the system for the better.
