Dear Website Reader,
Determining trademark research best practices in our industry can be difficult because the time and resources you need to identify and implement them may be more than you have. Thomson CompuMark has just launched a new program that helps take out that difficulty - so that you can spend more time effectively managing your brands. The new SERION® Certification Program is the first of its kind in the industry and allows you to become fully trained and certified in the leading online trademark research environment. I invite you to learn more about the SERION Certification Program below.
We have two feature articles in this edition and I know you will find them to be extremely informative. One article covers the recent IRT recommendations surrounding gTLDs and the other article focuses on social media and the growing concern of IP and brand rights.
I hope you enjoy this edition of Client Times Online, please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.
