Design Lawyers Face Bumps Amid USPTO Hiring Spree

Director Tracy-Gene G. Durkin was quoted in the article "Design Lawyers Face Bumps Amid USPTO Hiring Spree," published by Managing IP. From the article:

"Durkin at Sterne Kessler says she sometimes provides more detail on case law to newer hires than she would for experienced examiners.

'Very seldom are they lawyers, so it does help to explain how the case law applies to my client’s specific application,' she notes."
