Fitch Even and several clients were also invited to meet with the Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property & Deputy Director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to discuss global IP issues and the newly proposed rule changes affecting U.S. patent prosecution practice.

The conference was organized with the assistance of Fitch Even, and was sponsored by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
