Patent Baristas

Now is your chance to join a select group of technological game-changers whose ingenuity will be showcased in a celebration of innovation.

Cutting-edge innovators can apply for a place among the exhibitors at the Department of Commerce’s United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) Innovation Expo, to be held on the agency’s campus in Alexandria, Va., June 20-22, 2013.

Exhibits will showcase the latest technological developments from America’s innovators affiliated with large corporations, small businesses, academic institutions, government agencies and the independent inventor community. A diverse range of technologies will be represented at the Expo.

The Expo will also demonstrate the vital role America’s intellectual property system and the United States Patent and Trademark office play in promoting and protecting innovation, a role that contributes greatly to America’s competitiveness and economic prowess in the global economy.

The application deadline is February 13, 2013. Exhibition slots will be awarded to qualified U.S. patent owners on a rolling basis. Space is limited, so apply now.

Applications will be reviewed by an independent committee made up of representatives from some of the most important and respected intellectual property organizations.
