New Pro Bono Clients!

I am happy to announce that I am reaching out to 2 prospective clients to provide pro bono intellectual property legal services–most likely trademark legal services.  I am a member of Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts (VLA), which is the leading legal aid and education organization dedicated to New York artists and its arts and cultural organizations.  More information on VLA can be found here.

Terrific Inventors Association of Connecticut meeting at the Milford Library this week!

This past Wednesday, May 28, 2025, I presented on What Inventors Need to Know about Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights to the Inventors Association of Connecticut (IACT).   The attendees, mostly inventors, asked very good questions about patents, trademarks and copyrights.   Great group and great meeting!  The next IACT meeting will be June 25, 2025 at 5:30 pm at the Milford Public Library.   More information can be seen here.

I filed my first Pro Bono Patent Application

I am happy to announce that I filed my first Pro Bono Design Patent Application.  I accepted a pro bono client from the Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts organization (VLA).   It feels great to “give back”!  For the next pro bono client, I may look into doing a trademark application or response to office action.   For more information on the VLA, go here.
