Details: Panitch Schwarze attorney Steven D. Lustig will participate in a CLE webinar titled “Leveraging Expungement and Reexamination Proceedings Under the TMA to Protect Trademark Portfolios and Brands,” presented by Strafford. Lustig will be joined by Michael S. Palmisciano, partner at Sullivan & Worcester.

The webinar will guide IP counsel on the expungement proceedings under the Trademark Modernization Act of 2020. The panel will provide a deep dive into the proceedings, discussing the benefits and risks and how these proceedings are instituted. Lustig and Palmisciano will address potential abuse by bad actors and the vetting process to weed out meritless filings. The panel will also examine when these petitions are filed, what must be included in a petition for expungement, and how to respond to a petition for expungement.
