The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) announced this week that it will feature USPTO Director David Kappos at its 2009 Annual Meeting in Boston next week. Kappos will appear on an interactive panel discussion, “Meet the USPTO Brass”, on Tuesday, October 20 at 9 am Eastern at the Hynes Convention Center. The event is presented as part of the ACC Annual Meeting in conjunction with the ACC Intellectual Property Committee.

According to the ACCA website, high-level USPTO personnel will be on hand to "discuss current patent and trademark issues, and more importantly, listen to you — the customer." In addition to Kappos, Commissioner for Trademarks Lynne G. Beresford and POPA President Robert Budens will be on hand to participate and take questions.
