The 2017 Midwest IP Institute

Winthrop & Weinstine Intellectual Property attorney Tim Sitzmann will discuss “The Year in Trademark Law: Noteworthy Decisions and Their Impact on Your Practice” at the 2017 Midwest IP Institute on September 28 in Minneapolis, MN.  His session will explore significant trademark decisions from the past year and their practical implications for in-house and outside counsel. The issues span the gamut from claims for attorney’s fees under the Lanham Act; ownership disputes; parodies and the fair use defense; and more.

The 2017 Midwest IP Institute will keep you on top of all the latest developments. From the impact of recent Supreme Court decisions (Halo Electronics, TC Heartland, Lexmark International, Tam and Apple v. Samsung) to other significant case law and legislative developments, you will be completely updated on topics critical to your IP practice. Guest speakers from across the country will join a faculty of talented IP lawyers from Minnesota to provide you with the most current guidance in all aspects of IP law, transactions and litigation.
