USPTO at SXSW - SXSW 2020 CANCELED
SXSW 2020 has been canceled by event organizers. More information on this change can be found on the SXSW website here.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has helped spread the word about intellectual property (IP) at South by Southwest (SXSW) in years past, and we are looking forward to 2020. The annual SXSW Conference in Austin, Texas, provides an opportunity for global professionals at every level to participate, network, and discuss economic and cultural issues. The wide range of participating individuals and organizations have one thing in common: they all work with intellectual property (IP).
Representatives from the USPTO will also be participating in various conference events, as well as hosting a booth at the SXSW Trade Show. Our booth will feature an exhibit on the intellectual property and notable inventors of video games, with several hands-on displays. This year, the SXSW Conference takes place March 13-22, 2020.
Visit the SXSW conference page for more information.
