Senator George Voinovich (R-OH) to Keynote USPTO IP Conference
Columbus, OH - May 15-16

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) will present a two-day conference on intellectual property basics for small and medium size businesses, entrepreneurs and independent inventors and will provide information on the new realities of intellectual property counterfeiting and piracy in the global marketplace.

The conference will be held May 15-16 at the Hyatt Capital Square in Columbus, Ohio. The sessions run both days from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Deputy Under Secretary for Intellectual Property Steve Pinkos will deliver opening remarks for the conference on Monday morning. Senator George Voinovich will deliver a keynote address at a luncheon later that day.

The conference is a component of USPTO’s small business campaign and is a part of the federal government’s Strategy Targeting Organized Piracy (STOP) and the USPTO’s continuing effort to increase public awareness about intellectual property and the enforcement of those rights in the global marketplace.

The conference is free, but seating is limited. Register now.
