It will be a unique collaboration between the USPTO and senior law firm and corporate trademark practitioners. The program will permit high level USPTO staff and senior law firm and corporate practitioners to share information and ideas, with the goal of ensuring that business needs are met as the USPTO transitions to a new e-commerce environment.
