Join us for the grand opening of Cline Library’s Patent and Trademark Resource Center (PTRC)! Full agenda below.
As a member of the US Patent and Trademark Office‘s PTRC network, the Library can assist community members with free resources to help creators get started on patent and trademark journeys. Meet some of the people behind our PTRC, attend a presentation focused on intellectual property, learn about PTRC and US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) history, tour Cline Library’s experiential learning spaces, and more.
This is an informal, drop-in event, so come for all or part as your schedule and interests permit. Light refreshments will be served. Registration is not required but appreciated; visit USPTO’s registration page to register. This event is open to the public. We hope to see you there!
