Event Details

You’re not on your own, Kid.1

In this information session, Swifties, educators and creatives will learn trademark fundamentals from intellectual property experts--all through the lens of Taylor Swift’s iconic brand. 

Join Jason Lott, Managing Trademark attorney with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, to learn trademark fundamentals while perusing pop-stars' trademark portfolios. We will teach you something they can't take away1—how to read trademarks, conduct searches for the latest drops, and how you can protect your own creations.

The Federal Register "has a blank space, baby2," and we’ll show you how to add your trademark.
