	Dear ABA Members, The ABA Section of International Law is working with the U.S. Department of Commerce and the Coalition Against Counterfeiting and Piracy on expanding their International Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Advisory Program. The program allows American small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) to receive a free, one-hour consultation with an experienced volunteer attorney regarding the protection of its intellectual property rights in BRICET countries: Brazil, Russia, India, China, Egypt, and Thailand. Since the program’s inception in November 2005, the Section has successfully matched more than 100 small and medium sized U.S. companies with volunteer attorneys. For more information on the program, please visit: http://www.abanet.org/intlaw/intlproj/iprprogram.html or contact the Section’s International Projects Coordinator Katie Van Geem (vangeemk@staff.abanet.org; 1-202-662-1675). The Section has worked with the DOC to expand the program into several additional countries which the DOC considers priority markets including Kenya, Ghana, Mozambique, Angola, Senegal, Nigeria, South Africa, Columbia, Mexico, Argentina, Indonesia, Vietnam, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia. We are currently looking for volunteer attorneys to participate in the program from any of the countries listed above as well as the original BRICET countries. Participation in the program is a great way to earn pro-bono experience and make contacts in the regions. To register as a volunteer attorney, please visit: http://www.abanet.org/intlaw/intlproj/iprprogram_attorneys.html. Thank you for your contribution to the program. Thank you, ABA Section of International Law International Intellectual Property Rights Committee
