Texas IP Alliance (TXIPA) believes that innovation and intellectual property protection are critical assets that drive robust economic growth and improve social well-being in Texas and throughout the county.  We also believe that issues positively and negatively impacting intellectual property are global, national and local, but are not well understood by those outside of the current intellectual property ecosystem.  To address these challenges, we believe that an additional voice that is inclusive of all existing and yet to exist viewpoints is needed to ensure improved creation, protection, and enablement of intellectual property in Texas – for all Texans – from the grassroots level on up.
