PIUG is honored to announce that the USPTO-EPO CPC Annual Meeting with Industry Users will be held just prior to this year’s PIUG 2015 Annual Conference! We considered this quite an honor for PIUG, a wonderful opportunity for PIUG Conference attendees.
The CPC Annual Meeting will be held on Friday 1 May at the PIUG Annual Conference hotel, the Westin Lombard Yorktown Center, from 9 AM to 5 PM. Please find attached the signed invitation letter from the USPTO Commissioner for Patents and a draft agenda for the meeting.
The CPC Annual Meeting and the PIUG Annual Conference are independent events; attendance at one is not a prerequisite for attendance at the other.
The CPC workshop is still scheduled for Thursday, May 7th at the PIUG Annual Conference.
There is no cost to attend CPC Annual Meeting, but attendees must register in advance by sending an email to directly to Christopher Kim (christopher.kim@uspto.gov). Questions regarding the CPC Annual Meeting should also be addressed to Chris.
We hope that as many of you as possible will be able to attend both the CPC Annual Meeting and the PIUG Annual Conference.
