by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) Director of the Design Group
and his staff on the reengineering of the PTO design patent process to
reduce pendency and improve quality. There will be discussion of basic
design patent practice, such as drawings and restriction, and new proposals,
such as protecting color.</P>

<P>On the international side, the European Union proposal for a Community
Design (almost completed) will be discussed, along with very significant
developments in Japan with its new unfair competition law and other proposals,</P>

<P>A look at the design protection 21st Century will explore how to improve
design patent effectiveness, the likely resolution of the trade drress
and patent conflict, and copyright and utility model protection scope.
The industrial designers' views on what protection is needed and how best
to obtain it will be a continuing focus of this program.</P>
