Intellectual Property Section,State Bar of GeorgiaAnnual ReportPage 19 of 67BRINGING PTO OFFICIALS TO GEORGIA:As many of our members frequently deal with the US Patent and TrademarkOffice, one of my goals was to foster a more personal relationship with officials at theOffice. This provides many benefits. First, it allows for better communication betweenour members and the Office. The Patent Office is fairly responsive to input from theintellectual property bar, especially with its rule making process. Enhancedcommunications allow our members to provide greater input, resulting in a better rulemaking process.Second, the Patent Office has recently created four new satellite offices. I believethat Atlanta should have one of those offices. While we were not selected with the initialgroup of four (despite significant efforts), I want Atlanta to be at the top of the list for thefifth location if the first four are successful. One of the criteria that the Office looks to isthe relationship between the intellectual property bar and “technology hubs” such asuniversities. By hosting events with the participation of such hubs, as we did with ourBoot Camp, the possibility of Atlanta heightens the possibility of a satellite office comingto Atlanta.Third, bringing Patent and Trademark Office officials to Atlanta provides bettereducational opportunities to our members. Many of our events consist of Atlanta speakerspresenting to an Atlanta audience. While this can be effective, bringing officials from thegovernment branches with which we work provides for a richer, broader educationalexperience.With this in mind, the Section hosted two events featuring Patent and TrademarkOffice officials. The first was a US Patent and Trademark Office Roadshow, which washosted at Georgia Tech. Specifically, the Section hosted officials from the Patent Officeat road show discussion of rules and proposed rules under the America Invents Act atGeorgia Tech, which is one of the Patent and Trademark Resource Centers, on September24. Janet Gongola, the Patent Reform Coordinator for the USPTO, was joined byCommissioner of Patents Peggy Focarino, two judges from the Board of Patent Appeals245
Intellectual Property Section,State Bar of GeorgiaAnnual ReportPage 20 of 67and Interferences, and two advisors from the Patent Business Unit. The officials indicatedthat the crowd in attendance was the biggest of their road show events.The second event was a Trademark Committee event held on December 5, 2012.The speaker was Mary Denison, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office DeputyCommissioner for Trademark Operations. Topics covered included Trademark Officestatistics for the year, new post-registration procedures, fees, an upcoming revision of theTMEP, transitioning to an electronic Official Gazette, as well as other informationrelating to Trademark Office operations.The third event is our final event of the year, which will be held on June 12, 2013.This event will feature Lynne Beresford, former Commissioner for Trademarks at theU.S. Patent & Trademark Office, speaking on the topic “The Madrid Protocol – WhatDoes it Offer?” As Commissioner for Trademarks from 2005 through 2010, Ms.Beresford was instrumental in the implementation of the Madrid Protocol in the UnitedStates, helping to negotiate the regulations for the Protocol at WIPO. She was also part ofthe team that automated the filing and examination of international applications. She nowserves as a consultant to the World Intellectual Property Organization.INTRODUCTION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY BOOT CAMP:As I mentioned in the Executive Summary, while serving as the PatentCommittee, Brad Groff, the Trademark Committee Chair at the time and I held a BootCamp focused on intellectual property basic. It was an experiment. We hosted a six-hourevent, primarily targeted towards new attorneys. It was well received, but was notrepeated. As one of my goals was to provide practical training to new attorneys, I decidedthe Section should introduce a formal Boot Camp this year.One of my other goals as Chair was to strengthen the relationship between boththe local law schools and universities. Georgia Tech was of particular interest to mebecause it is both my alma mater and the technology hub of the state. For the technical“hub” of the city and its intellectual property community to collaborate is imperative inmy opinion. Hosting the Boot Camp at Georgia Tech was intended to bridge the gap246
