LES is a professional society for people interested in licensing.
The membership is drawn from a wide range of disciplines
and organisations. An important feature of LES is that it
brings together people from different backgrounds. Hands-on
licensing practitioners, academicians, lawyers and consultants,
from industry, university, public bodies and professional
firms are all welcome. To become a member of LES it is necessary
to join one of the member societies - the society of your
country of residence, or a nearby society if your country
does not have one. Click here to find the contact information of an Asia Pacific LES society and apply for membership.
Once a member, you will be entitled to attend any local meeting
of any member society. There are also joint meetings between
societies, international meetings, the Annual International
Conference, and meetings organised by special interest groups.
For more information please go to Events and LES
Asia Pacific Presidents' Meetings.
You will receive regularly the international LES journal "les
Nouvelles" and may also receive a newsletter from your
local society (not all local societies have newsletters;
please contact your local LES for more information). There
are licensing publications which you can purchase from the
national societies and from LES International. Both at the
national and international levels, there are committees which
you can join. The purpose and activities of committees include
helping with the running of the society, liaising with public
bodies and other professional societies, conducting research
and analysis of licensing issues, producing educational materials
and organising events to promote knowledge of licensing,
and making submissions to legislative bodies and other organizations
in relation to licensing matters.
As a member of LES, you will also have access to the 'members
only' section of the LES International web site at http://www.lesi.org.
If you have a personal interest in licensing, or if your
business or work is related to it, you will benefit from
membership in your local Licensing Executives Society.
