The University of Akron’s Intellectual Property Center has helped the USPTO organize an event for the U.S. IP Attaché program! We have teamed up with over 10 other Midwestern Schools for a virtual program where you can learn about the fascinating work of the U.S. “intellectual property diplomats.”

The event will be held April 13, 2021 10:30am-11:30am EDT

You must first register at this link to join: https://cvent.me/Nxlzxx

We know this program is during spring break, but we hope you can take a break to join us. IP attachés are U.S. diplomats who help to improve IP systems abroad using their extensive IP knowledge and experience. Tune in to hear them discuss how their fascinating careers have helped constructively shape intellectual properties laws in other countries.

To learn more about the USPTO’s IP Attaché program, visit https://www.uspto.gov/ip-policy/ip-attache-program. In addition, flyers have been included in this email that contains background information and operating locations of this program, such as Beijing, Geneva, and Rio de Janeiro.
