Spend the day with United States Patent and Trademark Office Management and Examiners, Design Patent Practitioners and industrial designers from across the country in a lively and thought provoking discussion.  We will discuss current issues in Design Patent Law, including the critical role that U.S. Design Patent Applications play in a global patent strategy, design appeals before the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences.  We will also discuss how recent trends in industrial design will impact design patent prosecution and defense.
