Board member and alumnus Jomarie Fredericks named to USPTO advisory council
Delighted to learn that our IP Center board member and alumnus Jomarie Fredericks has been named by the US Patent and Trademark Office to its trademark advisory council. US Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross approved her nomination.
The American Inventors Protection Act of 1999 created the Trademark Public Advisory Committee (TPAC) to advise the Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the USPTO on matters relating to the policies, goals, performance, budget, and user fees of the trademark operation.
Jomarie is the Deputy General Counsel and Chief Intellectual Property and Brand Counsel at Rotary International and the Rotary Foundation. She is also the 2020 Vice President of the International Trademark Association (INTA) Board of Directors.
Congratulations, Jomarie!
