Join us for a discussion with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and U.S. Copyright Office about what you should know about trademarks and copyrights. We’ll highlight the basics of federal trademark and copyright registration and discuss trademark and copyright protection. We’ll close out the conversation with a question-and-answer session and direct you to free resources available from USPTO and the Copyright Office.  This webinar is critically important to any firm with a brand or any firm with artistic expression, such as the written word, photographs and artwork in its marketing collateral or the content on its website.

Date: June 17, 2025
Time: 10 AM ET

Join us for a discussion with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) about what you should know about patents, trade secrets and their enforcement.

We’ll close out the conversation with a question-and-answer session and direct you to free resources available from the USPTO.  This webinar is critically important to any inventor or any firm that has trade secrets, such as customer lists, price lists, pricing methodologies, proprietary processes… anything of value whose value is related to the fact that it is not widely known, readily ascertainable, and subject to reasonable efforts to protect its secrecy.
