Trademarks: What Every Librarian Should Know – via OPAL
Presenters: Tom Turner, Librarian, Patent and Trademark Depository Library Program (PTDLP), U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Natalie Polzer, Trademark Examining Attorney, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
Trademark protection is vital to businesses large and small, yet many business owners are confused about trademarks--does applying for a trademark require legal representation? What are the costs? What are the benefits? How can they do a preliminary trademark search? All these questions and more will be answered in a one hour presentation from two trademark experts from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's Patent and Trademark Depository Library Program. The focus will be on free government resources that are available to your library patrons. Learn how librarians can help local businesses find answers to their trademark-related intellectual property questions.
