Banner & Witcoff is partnering with George Washington University School of Law to produce the first GW Law Design Patent Symposium: Design Law 2014.

The purpose of the program is to present and foster debate on cutting edge design-related topics. The program will be directed towards an audience of design practice leaders throughout the U.S.; however, we expect that many others with an interest in the design law will also be in attendance. We expect corporate practitioners, USPTO representatives, product designers, professors and students to attend.

Banner & Witcoff’s Rob Katz will co-moderate a panel discussion on Remedies and lead a town hall discussion on changes to the design patent system. Banner & Witcoff’s Richard Stockton will join a panel discussion on Functionality.
