USPTO Events Offering CLE Credits for Patent and Trademark Practitioners
Summary
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is providing information on upcoming and past events that offer continuing legal education (CLE) credits for patent and trademark practitioners. The USPTO applies for CLE credit in various states when possible, and practitioners are advised to check event descriptions or contact their state bar for credit eligibility.
What changed
The USPTO has published a notice detailing events that offer continuing legal education (CLE) credits for patent and trademark practitioners. These events cover a range of topics related to intellectual property law, including patent prosecution, international filing, and trademark application systems. The USPTO aims to secure CLE credit approval in individual states for these offerings, with specific approvals noted for California and Virginia in past events.
Practitioners should review the listed USPTO events to identify opportunities for CLE credit. It is crucial to view live sessions to receive credit. If a state is not explicitly listed as approved for credit in an event description, practitioners should consult their respective state bars to determine if credit can be obtained. This notice serves as an informational resource for legal professionals seeking to fulfill their CLE requirements through USPTO-related activities.
