Blockchain & IP: Cross section of blockchain, patents, and open source

August 16, 2022, 4-5 p.m.

Join the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and East Coast Attorney James Gatto to investigate the intersection of blockchain, patents, and open source and the interesting legal issues they present.

Our speaker will identify the complexities and misunderstandings of these three topics and address how they may work together. This virtual event will also address potential legal and business ramifications that exist at the cross section of these topics.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) Eastern Regional Outreach Office (EROO) is creating a virtual information series to showcase the underlying technology and various utilities of blockchain and intellectual property (IP). This free event series allows attendees to meet with stakeholders and affiliates in the distributed ledger technology, learn about their current trajectory, dream with them about their future goals, and gain an understanding about the importance of IP protections in this emerging technology.

A question-and-answer session will follow each presentation.
