SIPJF is Positioning to Include All Areas of IP

The Southeastern Intellectual Property Job Fair (SIPJF) is an initiative founded by the Intellectual Property Advisory Board, which is an alumni group associated with the Georgia State University College of Law. The fair is managed and executed by the Georgia State University College of Law Career Services Office. Many members of the Founders group are very active in Atlanta's IP community, working in the city's most well known companies and firms. SIPJF has been made possible by a joint effort of student volunteers, alumni, and the Georgia State University College of Law Career Services Office.

Going into its 5th year, SIPJF is positioning itself to become the IP job fair that encompasses all areas of intellectual property from litigation to transactional to prosecution, across all industries and types of organizations.  

Who Should Come?

Employers  - We invite any corporation, law firm and government agency that practices any aspect of Intellecutal Property law in fields such as technology, science, business, media, arts, entertainment and sports to participate.

Students - Serious about IP?  SIPJF is the job fair to meet IP employers seeking high caliber students like you!

Sponsors - New and exclusive sponsor opportunity available for the inaugural Student Lunch & Learn IP Session, among other ways to showcase your company, product or service.

Speakers - Enriching the students' job fair experience is important to SIPJF.  Thus, engaging seminars are offered on fair day on subjects such as hot topics in IP, successful career planning, passing the patent bar, etc.  Why not share what you wish you knew about IP (or anything else for that matter!) while you were in law school?

What's New?

We're glad you asked and happy to announce these improvements!

Symplicity - This year we will utilize Symplicity to run the fair!  Students and employers will be able to create accounts, manage/reivew documents, bid and offer/accept interviews online!  Also, the job fair coordinator will be able to keep everyone up-to-date and mindful of important deadlines.

Pay by Credit Card - RegOnline is our secure online payment center where credit card payment transactions can be processed.  Paying by check is still an option and invoices are automatically created by you online!

Employer List Review Period - Students can now review the Employer List before paying the registration fee. Now, students will know beforehand if they qualify for the positions offered and can make a decision whether or not to register.  (However, there is no way to ensure that any registered student will be selected for an interview.)

Updated Website - The SIPJF website is totally revamped so that schools, students and employers have specific sections to find information pertinent just to them.  The website will be updated regularly so you can always refer to it for answers to questions you may have along the way.  Comments, feedback or suggestions about this site are welcomed!  Please email camosgsu.edu.  Thank You!
