About INTA

INTA Foundation

Charitable organization with a mission to expand educational opportunities that empower students and professionals to join, shape, and strengthen the intellectual property (IP) community.

While INTA focuses on professionals already engaged in the trademark and IP profession, the INTA Foundation supports initiatives that provide greater access to the IP profession and to IP related educational and professional development opportunities for those that might not otherwise have access.
