It is delightful to attend the Design Patent Symposium 2018, sponsored by Banner & Witcoff, Ltd., Sterne, Kessler, Goldstein & Fox P.L.L.C., and George Washington University Law School. This symposium is taking place right now in the NEA building at 1201 16th Street NW, Washington, DC, having begun thus morning at 8:30 AM and continuing through the day to a reception ending at 6:00 PM.
It is a fascinating program (brochure here), with industrial designers, people from the USPTO, people from WIPO, and patent practitioners. For those who were not able to attend, the presentation materials may be downloaded here.
How did you find out about the Design Patent Symposium? I would be interested in attending in the future.
Hop into a Lyft car and head over here right now!
I guess I learned about it from the Industrial Designs committee of AIPLA.
I guess the smart thing is to make sure you are subscribed to the designs listserv. https://www.oppedahl.com/designs-l/ . I will be sure to post information for the program next year. And I will mention it in my blog.
