Guest: Robert Cumming, Esq., Walker Morris -

Sometimes we get guests by chance - and usually we have great luck.  This happened again when Robert Cumming, a UK trademark solicitor from the Walker Morris firm (Leeds, UK), was bouncing his way around the U.S. a short while ago.  We sat him down for a friendly chat in Minneapolis and drilled him on law practice in Leeds (home of great lawyers and site of a famous Who concert - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_at_Leeds).  Robert talked about UK vs. US vs. Euro. Community trademark practice and the ridiculously speedy trademark examination process in the UK (did he say same day examination? - hear it yourself).  And he discussed the recent drop in European Community trademark filing fees.  Yes - correct.  A governmental agency actually reduced fees (because they were so efficient they were making money!).  We (in the US TM practice) could learn from a few of these practices. 

Keep an eye here for a bonus 1-minute video of Robert Cumming on Why You Should File a Trademark in the UK.
