Seattle Trademark Lawyer

On Aug. 10, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office will travel to Seattle to present a program titled “Anti-Counterfeiting & Piracy 2007.” Scheduled speakers include Washington State Attorney General Rob McKenna, Microsoft Corp., Lisa Chissus from Flex-a-lite Consolidated, John Koeppen from the PTO, and Brad Huther from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

The program brochure states: “At this important event you’ll learn what federal and state government resources are available to protect your brand, how you can work with law enforcement to safeguard your intellectual property, how to protect your supply chain here and abroad, and what the U.S. Chamber is doing to defend American business as a whole.”

The program runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Westin Bellevue and includes a free lunch. Interested persons can register here. I plan to be there, so please say hello if you decide to attend.

The PTO and co-sponsor U.S. Chamber of Commerce will make similar presentations in Burlington, Vermont, on Aug. 17 with Sen. Patrick Leahy, and Los Angeles/Long Beach on Aug. 21.
