Seminars

BSKB currently offers the following training programs:

• The Summer Patent Seminar (formerly the Summer Training Program) is a month-long series of lectures and instruction on all areas of U.S. patent law designed to provide attorneys with practical training for obtaining and enforcing patents within the United States.
• The Advanced Patent and Licensing Seminar is a two-week seminar offered in the fall that focuses on advanced concepts in licensing, claim interpretation and validity, and infringement issues.
• The U.S. Trademark Practice Seminar is designed to provide attendees with practical information ranging from choosing a trademark to litigating complex trademark infringement actions.
• The Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) Seminar, sponsored by BSKB and administered by the International Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization, will take participants from PCT basics to advanced PCT practice.

Hundreds of individuals have attended our annual programs and seminars. And although these programs and seminars are designed to educate and inform, we have also been able to develop valuable personal and professional relationships with our clients at these meetings and beyond through our Alumni Portal. This helps us to better understand their needs.

Additionally, our attorneys provide In-House Presentations to company scientific and legal staffs designed to meet specific client needs and interests and individual BSKB members are deeply involved in various domestic and international IP groups and are often invited to make presentations on a variety of timely topics. Samples of those presentations can be found in the biographies of these individuals on this website.
