Coming soon: USPTO PTAB/TTAB Stadium Tour – Live at NCCU
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is joining the North Carolina Central University (NCCU) School of Law to present in-person Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) proceedings and a Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) proceeding for our next USPTO PTAB/TTAB Stadium Tour on September 7, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET at NCCU in Durham, NC.
Practitioners and students will have the opportunity to:
- Observe judges and counsel in action during the PTAB and TTAB proceedings
- Attend a fireside chat with Derrick Brent, Deputy Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Deputy Director of the USPTO
- Learn about the structure and format of PTAB proceedings and TTAB opposition proceedings
- Join a networking reception after the proceedings and educational sessions
Patent and trademark attorneys who appear before the PTAB and/or TTAB, and anyone interested in learning about intellectual property law or practicing before these administrative tribunals should attend.
The program is free, but space is limited for this in-person event, so registration is encouraged.
Contact Carl Smith of NCCU Law at csmith88@NCCU.edu if you have any questions.
