How to Use Design Patents for Competitive Advantage
Whether it's graphical user interfaces or consumer-oriented products, design patent strategies can furnish clients with valuable IP tools and assets as well as a shield against infringement.

  • Identify and analyze design patent trends;
  • Update you on new caselaw;
  • Provide concrete tips on how to better serve clients with design patents, both domestically and internationally; and

A PR Nightmare: When Trademark Cease and Desist Letters Go Wrong
Nothing makes a trademark lawyer cringe more than when a standard cease and desist letter winds up on social media. Maybe the letter was overly legalistic, maybe the receiver knew how to create public sympathy, or possibly it was just a matter of being on the receiving end of someone else’s sardonic wit. This session provides practical guidance on what not to do when sending a cease and desist, as well as best practices for avoiding a social media firestorm.
– Keith Toms; McCarter & English, LLP
