ArticlesIntellectual PropertyJohn E. Ottaviani Comments In World Trademark Review on “Return To Normal” In Trademark Filings

August 9, 20190

As he did earlier this month, John E. Ottaviani once again provided his insight to World Trademark Review, analyzing the rollercoaster in filings before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
