I wanted to share this information on two upcoming webinars being offered through the California Lawyers Association Intellectual Property Section's Trademark Interest Group. If you are like me, you are anxious (actually, I am desperate, if truth be told)
for any and all help available about learning how to use the PTO's new searching platform. I've listened to the PTO's presentations, but don't feel like I'm ready to jump in with both feet yet. Many of you are familiar with Jason Lott from the PTO, and Peter
Bromaghim has presented to our IP Section on searching tips on prior occasions. I've printed those tips and keep them by my desk like a well-dog-eared map. Peter is a former examiner, so he knows all of the shortcut tips for doing free form searches, and
explains things really well! This webinar is on December 7, shortly after the new system goes live.</div>
