[E-trademarks] posters for the USPTO folks and for the WIPO folks

[Carl Oppedahl]

So I guess you are looking for a repeat of what happened in 2022.  We 
took a photo of the poster fully signed (see link below) and we received 
an email back from the nice WIPO (seel link below) person letting us 
know it had been placed in a location of prominence in the WIPO offices.

Yes, hopefully we can repeat what happened in 2022.

Ideally for this upcoming event we could have two or three listserv 
attendees standing by at the time of the handing-over of the posters.  
They could get some nice photos of the smiling recipients receiving the 
signed posters.
