PTOS Meeting

[ndrosen]

The Patent and Trademark Office Society held its annual meeting this morning, celebrating its centenary, as it was founded in January of 1917. The Honorable Alan D. Lourie, a judge of the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, spoke; he has been reading the PTOS Journal for more than half of the past hundred years, and he talked about changes in patent practice since the early Sixties.

Also, a number of people were given the Ant Award for their work, including one of my friends. A lady I don't really know was given the Grand Ant Award, and man I know was given the Outstanding Service Award. Another friend of mine was also given an award.
