Tonight at 6 pm via ZOOM, figure draftsman Adam Holden Rosenberg will present on: “Design Patents and their use as opposed to provisional patent applications.”
Adam’s career path has been an unexpected journey, and unique as they come. From becoming an Antique Metal Restorer, to a Tattoo Artist, a Healthcare Recruiter for a small recruitment firm, performing contract work Installing and Upgrading Computer Systems for a fortune 500 company, and a decade of Patent Drafting and Illustration at my previous employer. These experiences have imbued Adan with a varied skillset that enabled me to successfully start and grow my own Patent Drafting company, Acme Patent Drawings.

I just attended an orientation for the Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts (VLA) pro bono organization out of New York.

Soon, I should be providing pro bono services through this organization. For more information on VLA go here.
Thought I would post a photo from the National Association of Patent Practitioners conference I attended two weeks ago. It was great seeing old patent friends, and making new patent friends.

Hi Everyone. I just got back from a three day National Association of Patent Practitioners (NAPP) conference in Denver, CO. NAPP is the organization of choice for all patent professionals. NAPP provides networking, education, collegial exchange, benefits, and a collective voice in the larger IP community on patent law practice, so patent practitioners can flourish and achieve the highest levels of competence and professionalism in their practice. Patent practitioners include patent attorneys and patent agents. Attending the presentations and talking with fellow patent attorneys helps me stay on top of the latest developements in patent law. The NAPP conference agenda can be seen here.
