Pro Bono Design Patent Application!

I am happy to announce that I recently found a pro bono opportunity to help someone apply for a design patent application.   I am in the review stage of the process, but it feels great to give back to the community.  Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts is the organization I am a part of that gives me pro bono opportunities with respect to patents, trademarks and copyrights.  Their website is here if you are interested in volunteering, or if you are seeking free or low fee legal services.

Continuing Legal Education

HI All,

I have been involved in a discussion with my fellow National Association of Patent Practitioners (NAPP) members about Continuing Legal Education (CLE).  This made me realize that I should inform you, my readers, that I attend yearly CLE’s on patents, trademarks and copyrights to stay on top of the latest legal issues in intellectual property.  Further, I teach CLE’s related to intellectual property to attorneys through the Milford Bar Association.   Please be assured that I am well versed in intellectual property, and I stay abreast on the latest legal developments in intellectual property!

2nd half of Patents, Trademarks, and Copyrights class a big success!
