Spring into IP at the Texas Regional USPTO!

Whether you are an independent inventor, a small business owner, or an IP practitioner, the Texas Regional USPTO has programming for you this spring. Join us at EarthX to explore IP from a different perspective or stop by a StopFakes Roadshow in Houston, or Huntsville, Alabama for a day-long program on anti-counterfeiting featuring speakers from several federal agencies. We are also expanding our signature Meet the Experts series with the addition of Meet the Copyright Experts this April in collaboration with the U.S. Copyright Office.
