Through the efforts of the Georgia Intellectual Property (IP) Alliance (GIPA) — a non-profit organization that is bringing together community and lay leaders to promote and enable the many benefits that IP brings to society – October 2019 has been proclaimed to be "Intellectual Property Month" in the State of Georgia. GIPA is helping to facilitate leadership, resources and advocacy, to make Georgia a global model for the most efficient and effective ecosystem for the creation, protection and enablement of IP rights, for the economic and social well-being of its citizens.

SGR IP partners Greg Kirsch and Matt Warenzak have been working closely with other volunteers at GIPA, and we are proud of our involvement in this worthy organization.
