The USPTO Unveils New Michael Jackson Exhibit
Even the United States Patent and Trademark Office isn't immune to posthumous Michael Jackson mania. The USPTO has opened a new exhibit in conjunction with the National Inventors Hall of Fame and Museum to commemorate the late Gloved One's contributions to intellectual property.
Catch it while you can! The exhibit is slated to run from July 15 to September 7, has no entry fee, and all are welcome to visit. As I mentioned in an earlier post, Michael Jackson was very savvy when it came to IP and even had his own patent for gravity-defying shoes.
Whether you loved him or hated him, there is no denying the indelible imprint Michael Jackson left. This is exemplified by the many trademarks he left behind, including this one, for his Heal the World Foundation. With all the bizarre news reports swirling about both his life and death, it's nice to focus on some of the positive things he did!
Want to see the exhibit in person? It's located inside the USPTO headquarters at 600 Dulany Street, Alexandria, VA, 22314.
