GT Associates Tucker A. Chambers (MSP) and Draeke H. Weseman (MSP) will speak during Minnesota CLE's "Introduction to Trademark Law: How to Create, Register and Enforce Trademark Rights" program on Thursday, February 25, 2021. The program will explore federal and state trademark law, and will provide a roadmap through the process of advising clients on choosing a trademark, properly identifying the type of protection available, preparing and filing the trademark application, if appropriate, and completing the registration. Weseman will present the session, "Trademark Law 101," which will explore how trademark rights arise, trademark ownership and transfer, differences between U.S. and foreign/international rights, and best practices for building and maintaining a trademark portfolio. Chambers will moderate the session, "In-House Counsel Perspectives on Trademark Assets," featuring a panel of distinguished in-house counsel as they discuss their role in managing and protecting their company’s valuable trademark assets, including trademark clearance, prosecution, and enforcement.
