You may apply as an Individual Member in countries and regions where no national IP association or section exists.
There are significant advantages in belonging to a national section, including EXCO representation and reduced membership fees.
The EXCO has approved a plan to establish and develop new sections in selected countries and regions where there are sufficient members. Under this plan, the membership fees for individual members in a country are reduced to the same level as in a national section with ten members for a period of three years, and at the end of that time it is expected that a new section for that country will be admitted. The members in the country concerned sign a memorandum of understanding with the Bureau to agree to work diligently to expand the membership of FICPI in their country and to establish a new section there.
If you would like more information about this plan and how it might be implemented in your country, please contact: [email protected].
Following are the countries and regions represented by individual FICPI members:
