Join us on Wednesday, June 25, from noon to 1 p.m. ET for our next USPTO Hour, hosted by the Office of the Commissioner for Trademarks.

We'll focus on our efforts to protect the trademark register from suspicious filings and fraudulent submissions, including:

• Clearing the inventory of invalid applications and registrations
• Increasing efficiencies in filing and case management
• Dealing with improper signatures in trademark filings
• Preventing application and attorney credential hijacking

We'll also follow up on questions raised during April's USPTO Hour on trademark pendency and preventing fraudulent filings.

The discussion will feature agency experts, including:

• Amy Cotton, Deputy Commissioner for Trademark Examination Policy
• Sarah Kunkleman, Supervisory Attorney Advisor, Register Protection Office
• Matt Schwab, Senior Legal Administrator for Trademarks Technology and Systems
