| A B O U T T H E C O N F E R E N C E “In many ways, trademarks fuel our economy. Strong marks sell products and must be protected. They provide assurances of consistent quality, and sometimes prestige. Consumers seek out products and services with known names. But for the same reasons they provide a competitive edge, trademarks also present opportunities for pirates. Infringers thrive by selling knock-offs of famous brands for a fraction of the price, or try to take a free ride on the goodwill of well-known marks. And even in good faith, disputes can arise over the extent of a trademark holder’s rights, or whether another party’s mark comes too close. In this one-day, intensive workshop, some of our nation’s experts on trademark portfolio practice address the state-of-the-art in trademark acquisition, protection and exploitation.” Program Co-Chairs: William F. Herbert, Esq. of Staas & Halsey LLP, and John F. Hornick, Esq. of Garrett & Dunner, L.L.P. Credits: VA CLE Pending; GA 6.25 CLE; WA 6.25 CLE; CA 6.5 MCLE; Call about others. Who Should Attend? Attorneys, business leaders, marketing executives. |
