Hague Design Filings: Procedures and Strategies

On May 10, 2016, CincyIP welcomes Jeremy R. Kriegel of Marshall, Gerstein & Borun, LLP in Chicago, to speak on procedures and strategies for Hague design filings.

In May of 2015, the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office began accepting international design applications under the Hague Agreement.  The Hague design system has several procedural peculiarities, but if one knows how to maneuver the system and understands the resources available, it can be a tremendously useful tool for economically obtaining protection for industrial designs.  Design protection of graphical user interfaces is a recent and growing trend.  Jeremy will discuss intricacies of Hague design filings for US applicants, and an overview of tips and considerations for graphical user interface design applications for those desiring protection in the US and abroad.
