Delighted to share the first in a series of posts by Jessie Suen, who represented the National Association of Patent Practitioners at our recent roundtable on AI. In these posts, she discusses her takeaways (subject to the Chatham House rules in place during the roundtable). http://bit.ly/2sKcFzh

Happy Thanksgiving!; Remembering Don Dunner

Happy Thanksgiving! Some in the IP community shared with IPWatchdog what or who they were thankful for. Some extolled IP education, others identified strong leadership at the USTPO and IP associations, the patent bar, inventors, as well as developments in Europe and China. These were all well-chosen. For me, 2019 will always be connected with Don Dunner's life and legacy.
