DESCRIPTION:\nNEW LOCATION AT IQHQ (1302 E.

He served on a career development detail as a Trainer at the Patent Training Academy and became an SPE in January 2017. For over 200 years, the basic role of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has remained the same: to promote the progress of science and the useful arts by securing for limited times to inventors the exclusive right to their respective discoveries (Article 1, Section 8 of the United States Constitution). Under this system of protection, American industry has flourished. New products have been invented, new uses for old ones discovered, and employment opportunities created for millions of Americans. The strength and vitality of the U.S. economy depends directly on effective mechanisms that protect new ideas and investments in innovation and creativity. The continued demand for patents and trademarks underscores the ingenuity of American inventors and entrepreneurs. The USPTO is at the cutting edge of the Nation’s technological progress and achievement.\n\n\n\nCome hear from this industry expert about their company, and learn how they can benefit your business!\n\n\n\nAgenda8:30am – Coffee & Networking9:00am – Opening Remarks9:05am – Introductions9:15am – IQ Speakers9:45am – Q&A\n\n\n\nBIO:https://www.linkedin.com/company/uspto/ ( https://www.linkedin.com/company/uspto/ )Essama Omgba is a Supervisory Patent Examiner (SPE) at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) at the Texas Regional Office in Dallas.\n\n\n\nEssama joined the United States Patent and Trademark Office in January 1999 in Technology Center 3700 and became a Primary Examiner in 2005.
