Intro to Trademarks for Lawyers - CLE Class (2 credits)

This class is intended for (but not restricted to) admitted attorneys who want to learn about trademarks and have a mindset for learning about intellectual property!

This class is for you if:

You have heard about the importance of protecting your client's brand name, product name, or services, but aren’t really sure where to start.

You would love some guidance and clarity before you spend money on the application fees with the Patent and Trademark Office.  Many attorneys feel overwhelmed when starting to think about protecting intellectual property. We provide step-by-step training and support to enable lawyers to be successful in securing trademark rights.

If you don’t take this class, you probably will make one of the most common mistakes or assumptions about when a trademark is really available for use and registration

If you don’t take this class, you may struggle through the online application or waste the application fee with the USPTO ($250 or $350 depending on which type of application you select), and lose precious billable hours when you could be productive instead.  You may wait, wonder and worry about whether you did it right – and remember, in the best case scenario, you won’t even hear back from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for many months after your application has been filed!

This class has been accredited for 2 General Continuing Legal Education credits for lawyers in the State of Colorado.  However, you do not need to be an admitted member of the Bar to take it - it is open to all.
