ADOPI INC.

What ADOPI INC. does

ADOPI INC. (Asociación Dominicana de Propiedad Intelectual, Inc.) is a non-profit association organized under the laws of the Dominican Republic and headquartered in the Bella Vista neighborhood of Santo Domingo. The association is dedicated to the study, diffusion, and promotion of intellectual property rights within the country, serving three principal persona segments: Dominican IP professionals and legal practitioners, creators and businesses vulnerable to IP infringement, and micro/small/medium enterprises (MIPYMES). Its core activities revolve around continuing legal education, jurisprudential analysis, and community-building rather than commercial product development.

ADOPI's product surface consists of three offerings. First, a membership program that grants individuals and organizations access to a documentation center, job board, events, and professional network on an undisclosed annual subscription basis. Second, a Shopify-backed online store selling downloads of legal doctrine and reference documents through a self-serve web channel. Third, an extensive content and events program comprising in-person seminars, virtual webinars (recorded and published on YouTube), jurisprudential capsules (short analyses of Dominican court rulings on IP matters), and two flagship annual outputs: IP Week and the Dominican IP Yearbook (ANUDOPI), produced jointly with FUNGLODE, IGLOBAL, and the Observatorio Judicial Dominicano.

The underlying technology infrastructure is intentionally lightweight: a Squarespace-hosted website, a Shopify storefront, social media profiles (Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, LinkedIn), email newsletters, and a YouTube channel. ADOPI monetizes exclusively through recurring membership dues (price not publicly disclosed) and one-time document sales, with no advertising, sponsored content, or transactional revenue beyond these streams. The organization is governed by an elected council with a rotating presidency (Mónika Fiallo Paradas appointed August 12, 2020), working committees on patents and copyright, and operating partners spanning academic (PUCMM), international (KIPA), and institutional (ICC Dominican Republic) bodies. All operational activity is geographically scoped to the Dominican Republic.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• International Trademark Association (INTA): Global trademark association representing brand owners and practitioners worldwide. Comparable to ADOPI as an IP-focused membership body but operating at much larger international scale with broader resources.
• Intellectual Property Owners Association (IPO): US-based trade association for IP owners. Comparable as an IP membership organization advocating for strong IP rights and providing educational resources to members.
• MARQUES (Association of European Trade Mark Owners): European association representing brand owners and IP professionals. Comparable as an IP-focused membership association but with a different geographic focus (Europe vs. Dominican Republic).
• Association Internationale pour la Protection de la Propriété Intellectuelle (AIPPI): International non-profit association dedicated to the development and improvement of IP law. Highly comparable in mission (IP rights protection, education, advocacy) but operates globally rather than within a single country.

Regional players

• Licensing Executives Society International (LESI): Global non-profit society of licensing professionals with national chapters. Comparable to ADOPI as an IP-focused professional association with a chapter-based model; could host a Dominican chapter.
• Oficina Nacional de la Propiedad Industrial (ONAPI): Dominican Republic's national IP office that administers IP registrations and policy. Comparable to ADOPI in serving the Dominican IP ecosystem, but functions as a government regulator rather than a private membership association.

Emerging players

• World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO): UN agency that serves as a global forum for IP services, policy, and information. Comparable as a knowledge and reference body for IP, though WIPO operates at the international policy level while ADOPI operates at the national practitioner level.

Direct peers

• Asociación Interamericana de la Propiedad Intelectual (ASIPI): Inter-American IP association serving members across Latin America including the Caribbean. Comparable to ADOPI as a regional IP membership organization focused on education, advocacy, and IP rights dissemination.

Others

• Fundación Global Democracia y Desarrollo (FUNGLODE): Dominican think tank focused on democratic and development policy. Comparable as a partner organization that co-publishes ANUDOPI yearbook and co-hosts IP events with ADOPI.
