A worldwide association for lawyers specializing in video game law has been launched in Los Angeles. The Video Game Bar Association, founded on Feb. 8, is devoted to attorneys who practice in the video game and interactive media industries.

“Over the years, the number of people whose core practice is in the games business has grown significantly,” said Patrick Sweeney, head of Reed Smith’s video game practice, who helped launch the new bar association. “And there is no organization that allows us to get to know each other and share ideas. The Copyright Society is too broad. The California bar, or anything California-based, doesn’t necessarily fit, either. It goes beyond any territorial or broad practice area affiliation. We want something more specifically catered to us.”
