Offit Kurman’s Laura Winston Presents to PIPLA Audience on the Trademark Modernization Act

Ms. Winston’s presentation, “The Trademark Modernization Act: What Is It and How Did We Get Here?” specifically addressed the sweeping changes that came to the Lanham Act and how these changes affected office action response times, letters of protest, the ease with which a third party can expunge or trigger reexamination of a trademark registration and the presumption of irreparable harm in preliminary injunction motions.
