I attended the Joint Patent Practice CLE conference yesterday in NYC!

Yesterday I took the train to NYC, to attend the Joint Patent Practice CLE conference (JPPCLE) yesterday.   It was eight hours of learning the latest in patent law.   We had a Federal Circuit Judge give a presentation.  A Patent Trial and Appeal Board judge also spoke, as did a Federal Trade Commission attorney!  It was great meeting new friends in the patent world, and seeing a few faces from the past!  More information the JPPCLE can be found here.

The Milford Bar Association presents LAW DAY!

I will be attending the MBA’s Law Day today at 1 pm at Stonebridge Restaurant.

The 2026 Law Day theme is “The Rule of Law and the American Dream.” The rule of law—the idea that no person is above the law—is what ensures the rights of the people to live their lives as freely as possible and to pursue their dreams. The ABA encourages all Americans to recognize Law Day on May 1, 2026, and to reflect on how the rule of law ensures all Americans have the ability to fulfill their dreams.
