It was founded in 1965 in the United States.[1] As of 2011, LESI had "more than 10,000 individual members, including representatives of companies, scientists, engineers, academicians, governmental officials, lawyers, patent and trademark attorneys, and consultants".[2]

LESI publishes a quarterly journal called les Nouvelles.[3] In 2011, LESI launched an initiative to establish international standards for the valuation of intellectual property.[4]
