As ACI explains:

Trademark attorneys face an increasingly demanding atmosphere when they shepherd a trademark application through the USPTO. Denials of trademark applications based on fraud, pressures of conducting cost effective trademark searches, and complexities of negotiating coexistence agreements with other trademark owners raise the stakes for the trademark bar.

The benefits of knowing how to navigate the nuances of the USPTO are invaluable, but the consequences of ignorance could shatter the marketing, promotion, and legal plans invested in the trademark.

Now is the time to strengthen your awareness of the USPTO trademark application process. Now is the time to refine your skills in dealing with trademark examiners. Now is the time to learn from the experts. With your needs in mind, ACI designed USPTO Boot Camp: Trademark Edition to focus on the core issues facing attorneys in this vital area of trademark law.
