The ABA-IPL Trademark Day is a unique event. I have been fortunate to have been involved in the planning of the first event. I am not aware of any other event that provides as much detailed information and insight from USPTO trademark staff. And the cost is a bargain at $50 for the full day including lunch.
This year’s program will be the sixth annual program and is again at the USPTO headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia on September 20th, 2018. The topics covered include examination policy, post-registration audits, ethics, specimen protest email pilot, a live TTAB hearing, and more.
The entire program will also be eligible for CLE credit.
