I attended the National Association of Patent Practitioners annual conference last week
Hi Everyone,
I attended the National Association of Patent Practitioners (NAPP)annual conference last week. NAPP is an organization directed towards patent attorneys and patent agents, and keeps us up to date with the latest changes, laws, and rules with respect to preparing and filing patent applications at the USPTO, the PCT, and litigating of patents. The conference is also a nice way to keep up with old friends. Last week the conference was held at the University of Minnesota Law School in Minneapolis. More information on the conference can be seen here. The 2025 NAPP annual conference will (probably) be at the USPTO offices in Alexandria, VA.
