Join the USPTO’s Texas Regional Office for exciting events this winter.
We will continue the year with unique programming specially designed for inventors, entrepreneurs, small business owners, and intellectual property (IP) practitioners. Hear from patent experts on how to file applications and avoid common mistakes or broaden your IP expertise by attending seminars on patents, trademarks, and design patents. Our signature Meet the Experts series will also continue with new installments.
We have other events occurring throughout our eight-state region. For a full event listing, visit the Texas Regional Office’s webpage, or see below. All classes are online.
