The USPTO has announced that its National Trademark Expo event will be held on May 8th (10AM-6PM) and 9th (10AM – 4PM) in the atrium of the USPTO’s Madison Building in Alexandria, Virginia. This event, referenced in the USPTO announcement link below, "will feature exciting colorful interactive exhibits that illustrate the pervasive and important role trademarks play in our economy," whereby "[v]isitors will learn about the many different kinds of trademarks such as sound, design and color, and will also learn about the history and evolution of trademarks, some of which are more than 100 years old." In addition to highlighting trademarks in general, several trademarked characters (like the Pillsbury Doughboy) and exhibiting companies will be present, and the Expo will also highlight the negative effects of counterfeiting on the nation’s economy. A list of exhibitors is available at the second link below.
