I just requested a new Patent Pro Bono case!

I am happy to announce that I just requested a second patent pro bono matter from the Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts organization (VLA).   I like to give back to the community at large, and providing pro bono patent, trademark, and copyright legal services is one way I can do that.

VLA is the leading legal aid and education organization dedicated to New York artists and its arts and cultural organizations. VLA strives to protect the artistic community’s livelihoods, businesses, and creative works through access to dedicated legal representation and focused education programs.  For more information on the VLA please go here.

 

 

I attended the Connecticut Bar Assocation Connecticut Legal Conference this past Friday!

I had a great time meeting lawyers and seeing lawyers I already know at the Connecticut Legal Conference (CLC) on Friday June 13, 2025.  The CLC is the CBA’s preeminent event comprised of dozens of engaging CLE seminars covering a diverse range of topics in state and federal law. The day also includes an exhibitor showcase featuring over 35 distinguished services and businesses and the CBA Annual Meeting and Luncheon, which features prestigious Connecticut-based and national speakers as well as the installation of the CBA executive committee officers for the approaching bar year.  I am in the far right in the below picture.  The 150 in the picture means that the CBA is celebrating its 150 year anniversary!
