On Thursday and Friday, I will be attending the Practicing Law Institute’s CLE program on “Navigating Trademark Practice Before the PTO 2007: From Filing Through the TTAB Hearing” in New York. Among other things, this will enable me to report on the oral argument in the Hormel v. Spam Arrest cancellation proceedings, over which a three-judge panel from the U.S. Trademark Trial and Appeal Board will be presiding in a special sitting. (Discussion on this case here.) It also will enable me to meet fellow bloggers and STL readers from the Big Apple. If you’d like to have a cup of coffee (I’m from Seattle, after all), drop me a line.
