Impaneled in Seattle

I’m here now for tomorrow’s McCarthy Institute and Microsoft Corporation Symposium, “Trademark Law and Its Challenges 2017” at the Amazon Corporate Conference Center.

My panel looks like this:

9:50AM-11:00AM Trademark Disparagement and the First Amendment

• Marc Levy, Partner, Seed IP Law Group (Moderator)
• Tom McCarthy, Senior Professor, USF School of Law
• Lorelei Ritchie, Administrative Trademark Judge, USPTO TTAB
• Ronald Coleman, Partner, Archer & Greiner
• Makalika Naholowaa, Attorney, Corporate, External & Legal Affairs, Microsoft
• Stephen Coates, Senior Counsel, Amazon

Yes, that does seem like a lot to pack into 70 minutes.  But I have carefully chosen 26 words and I am, of course, looking forward to it.
