Journal of the Patent & Trademark Office Society
A bright idea burning for over ninety years, the Journal of the Patent and Trademark Office Society is the oldest, publishing intellectual property law journal in America.
A medium of expression for the exchange of thought in the field of Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights; a forum for the presentation and discussion of legal and technical subjects relating to the useful arts; a periodical for the dissemination of knowledge of the functional attributes of the patent, trademark, and copyright laws, in order to effect a more uniform practice thereof and through which all interested in the development and appreciation thereof may work to a common end.
