Seminars: U.S. Trademark Practice Seminar

The annual BSKB U.S. Trademark Practice Seminar addresses all aspects of trademark practice before the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") and the courts, including the preparation of trademark applications, practice before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, licensing, inter partes matters including opposition and cancellation proceedings, and the enforcement of trademark rights in the federal and state courts.

The 2010 Seminar hosted our largest class to date, and included 30 participants from 7 countries: China, Denmark, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and the United States.

In addition to the academic experience, BSKB strives to help our foreign participants enjoy, appreciate and experience the American way of life and culture and our U.S. participants are afforded the opportunity to explore not only that which Washington, DC has to offer, but also take the opportunity to learn about the other cultures represented by our foreign participants. Many friendships and business relationships are made during the course of the program and last long after the program concludes.

To encourage those relationships, BSKB arranges for several evening activities throughout the course of the program from our "getting to know one another" opening reception to our closing banquet and graduation ceremony and activities in between.

The 2010 Trademark Practice Seminar was held April 11 to 16, 2010. The 2011 seminar will be held in the spring of 2011. More information about the seminar can be found in the 2010 program brochure.
