Brand Protection in the United States

The U.S. Brand Protection & Trademark Seminar is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive overview of the selection, clearance, registration, enforcement, proper use, and protection of brands and trademarks.

Beginning with introductory lectures on the fundamental purpose of brands and trademarks and how their rights are created, the topics become more complex throughout the week, exploring advanced topics such as inter partes proceedings before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB), domain name and social media issues, anti-counterfeiting and litigation. Our knowledgeable lecturers draw from many years of experience in the trademark field and focus on real-life case examples.

The seminar will provide the type of practical training that cannot be obtained from normal legal texts. In addition, questions and open discussion among the participants are encouraged. Prior experience with trademark law is not required, and participants with basic trademark knowledge will expand their understanding of more advanced topics.

In addition to the academic component of the seminar, BSKB strives to help our non-U.S. participants experience, enjoy, and appreciate the American way of life and culture. Likewise, our U.S. participants have a chance to explore the Washington, D.C. area and learn about the cultures of their non-U.S. classmates. Many friendships and business relationships are made during the course of the seminar that last long after the seminar concludes.
