Join us on Wednesday, May 28, from noon to 1 p.m. ET for our next USPTO Hour, hosted by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) and the Office of the Commissioner for Trademarks.
In this session, we'll focus on general information about the TTAB including:
- What the TTAB's jurisdiction covers
- How the TTAB is structured and who's on the staff
- Fundamentals of ex parte appeals and inter partes trials
