Welcome to the LES Silicon Valley Chapter

Founded in 2000, the Silicon Valley Chapter of the Licensing Executives Society (U.S.A. & Canada), Inc. (LES-SVC) is rooted in one of the world’s most creative dynamic regions: Silicon Valley in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. Our chapter’s mission is to assist company executives, attorneys, licensing consultants, engineers, academicians, scientists, government representatives, and others in improving and increasing knowledge, skills, and techniques in the practice of licensing and intellectual property through numerous and consistent educational and networking opportunities.

Our meetings are open to both LES Members and non-members. Questions about upcoming events may be directed to admin@les-svc.org. Most sessions will qualify for Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit for attorneys.
