The German National Group of the AIPPI and in particular the AIPPI itself owe a great deal to Prof. Dr. Joseph Strauss. For many years Prof. Dr. Strauss chaired the program committee of the AIPPI. In this capacity he considerably advanced the programmatic work of the AIPPI in the area of intellectual property rights. In 2006 the AIPPI made Prof. Dr. Straus an honorary member.
The AIPPI has a number of special committees, amongst them the committees Q165 (EPLA, Optional Protocol to the EPC with regard to Litigation concerning European and Community Patents) and Q185 (Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights). Since 2001 congresses and executive committees have regularly commented on EPLA in reports and resolutions. The latest development is extensively described in the report by the Q165 special committee of EXCO Singapore from October 6 to 9, 2007.
