Did you know April 26 is World Intellectual Property Day? World Intellectual Property (IP) Day - in partnership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Global Intellectual Property Center - is a day where we go above and beyond to help show our support for innovation, creativity, artistic expression and where we invite Congress to join us in celebrating America’s innovation economy. More than 45 million Americans work in IP fields and deliver the innovations that improve lives every day! Take part in the conversation on social media with the hashtag #WorldIPday.
To take part in AAFA’s IP efforts year-round, consider joining AAFA’s Brand Protection Council (BPC). Charged with helping to protect U.S. branded products against cheap imitations that are flooding the marketplace, the council meets regularly and is composed of legal, brand enforcement, and marketing representatives of AAFA member companies.

AAFA urges continued funding for ILO Better Work Program: On April 17, AAFA sent a letter to both the House and Senate appropriators urging Congress to preserve the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) grant funding for the International Labor Organization’s (ILO’s) Better Work program. Removal of the funding could have a significant impact not only on the important work of the ILO Better Work program, but could also seriously undermine Congressional initiatives to improve the economic development of Haiti.
