Introducing the Director of the Midwest Regional USPTO
With support from the Indiana State Bar Association, Indianapolis Bar Association, and Barnes & Thornburg, ChIPs is thrilled to welcome Mr. Damian Porcari to Indianapolis to address the Indianapolis IP Community and Indy Chipsters.

The discussion will dive into his latest and greatest thoughts on Section 101 and the USPTO’s Revised Patent Subject Matter Eligibility Guidance published in 2019. He is also eager to learn from the local business and IP community about what they need and how the USPTO might help.
CLE Credit is pending for the presentation portion of the event.
