Register today for the November 30 roundtable discussion on protecting Native American intellectual property

Full agenda is now online

Join us on Thursday, November 30, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET for an in-depth examination of consumer protection, the protection and enforcement of intellectual property (IP), and the impact of counterfeit goods on the economies of Native American communities.

This program will include participation from IP experts, senior officials from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)—including USPTO Deputy Director Derrick Brent—and other federal agencies, and tribal representatives.

The full agenda for this program is now available online. Five panels will discuss:

• The scope and impact of IP crime on Native Americans
• Protecting Native American arts and crafts
• State and tribal cooperation on consumer protection investigations
• International developments in protecting traditional knowledge, cultural expressions, and genetic resources
• Strategies for raising public awareness and changing consumer behaviors

This hybrid program will take place at USPTO headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia, and can be watched live remotely. There is no charge to attend, but advance registration is required. To see the full agenda and to register, visit the event page on the USPTO website.
