The Association honored the Honorable Alan Lourie, Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, as the third recipient of PIPLA’s Award for Outstanding Intellectual Property Achievement.

He received his J.D. degree from Temple University in 1970.
Stanton D. Weinstein, President of PIPLA, commented “We are delighted to bestow this honor upon Judge Lourie who exemplifies the very best of the Intellectual Property bar."
