The New USPTO Rule for Foreign Applicants: Practical Implications
Thursday, August 15 1pm - 2pm ET
Held on Thursday, August 15 1pm - 2pm ET
As of August 3rd, 2019, the USPTO will require foreign applicants, including Canadian applicants, to designate a U.S. licensed attorney in respect all U.S. trademark filings. This is a change from the current practice which permits Canadian agents to file directly on behalf of Canadian applicants without the involvement of a U.S. attorney. This webinar will explore the history of the Rule, as well as the practical implications of the new Rule for Canadian agents. It will also touch on practices in other jurisdictions, and provide different perspectives from Canadian agents on this change in practice.
