Erik Paul Belt, the McCarter & English LLP partner who last week started his one-year term as president of the Boston Patent Law Association, thinks intellectual property rights in this country are under attack. Like, a Death Star level of attack.
The group he leads includes more than 900 attorneys and other professionals who deal with patent, trademark and copyright law. Belt sees his primary objective as president as making the BPLA more of an outward-facing organization, publicly defending the rights of intellectual property holders not only in Boston, but nationwide.
