US Bar – JPO Liaison Meeting
Glad to join officials from the Japan Patent Office (JPO) and members of the US patent bar for the US Bar JPO’s annual Liaison Council Meeting.
Representatives in the US came from state bars in the Carolinas, New York, Virginia, Wyoming, and the American Bar Association. Susumu Iwasaki, Deputy Commissioner of the JPO, and Kevin Kunzendorf, Chair of the US Bar/JPO Liaison Council co-chaired the meeting.
US-Japan ties among the patent community continue to be strong. Our discussion was wide-ranging, covering topics including AI and 3D printing technology, patent subject matter eligibility, and the impact of Covid-19.
