 The USPTO will host a showcase for trademarks at its Alexandria, Virginia headquarters
on April 10-12, 2008. The three day event is designed to engage the public’s
interest and educate consumers about the vital role trademarks play in the
global economy. Any company with a registered trademark may apply to exhibit.
Space is limited so apply now. The deadline for applications is December 31, 2007.
Potential exhibitors will be evaluated on the following criteria:
- Brand recognition - How well-known is the mark.
- Educational value of the proposed exhibit - How would the trademark holders
participation help educate the public about trademarks.
- Category diversity - Does the applicants participation help ensure the Expo
has a wide selection of trademarks.
Those selected to exhibit will be notified by January 15, 2008.
Frequently Asked Questions
About the 2008 USPTO National Trademark Expo [Doc]
Sadly, according to the FAQ, there is no mention of corn-dogs, cotton candy or any sort of food that I expect when I hear of Expo. I'm sure it will still be fun and educational but they could use some cotton candy.
