The International Intellectual Property Union consists of eight associations, which have more than 1900 members, many of whom are famous big companies. The international intellectual property alliance is essentially a spokesperson for the commercial interests of some big American companies. Promote the continuous strengthening and even excessive protection of global intellectual property rights with the standards and levels of intellectual property protection in the United States.

Although the Alliance is a non-governmental organization on the surface, the International Intellectual Property Alliance (IIPA) was established in 1984, which is a non-governmental organization in the copyright industry in the United States, aiming at promoting the international protection of copyright. The alliance is very active and often expresses opinions on global and national copyright issues.

At the beginning of each year, the Office of the US Trade Representative will issue an announcement to solicit public opinions on the 30 1 special investigation, and the alliance will also submit a lot of information and put forward many suggestions. For example, in 2006, it provided information on poor copyright protection in 46 countries, and suggested that these countries be divided into key countries, with emphasis on observer countries and observer countries.

For such a remarkable organization, there are only six people in the secretariat: Chairman Eric Smith and several staff members. Eric is one of the founders of the alliance, and he is also Smith &; Managing partner of Metalitz law firm.

In fact, these people also work in law firms. So the alliance and the law firm are almost a set of two brands. Of course, there is strong support behind the alliance.
