SUMMARY:Patents\, Trademarks\, Intellectual Property\, and More (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:ONLINE REGISTRATION INCLUDED BELOW.\nCLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD A REGISTRATION FORM\n \nEvent Description \nUnderstanding trademarks\, patents\, and intellectual property (IP) law can be challenging for small businesses\, innovators\, companies\, and entrepreneurs. That’s why we are excited to present a special program featuring one of the leading experts in the industry —Kevin C. Myhre is a patent attorney with Barley Snyder’s Intellectual Property Practice Group. \nKevin brings a unique perspective to his work with clients at various stages of development. He is involved in preparing and prosecuting patent applications\, handling trademark matters\, and providing litigation support across all areas of intellectual property law\, including research and strategy development. \nWith a distinct background as a patent examiner at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)\, where his field of examination focused on driverless and autonomous vehicle technology in the transportation sector is complemented by his real-world experience working within the engineering community. \nCREDIT(S): \n1.0 SUBSTANTIVE CREDIT \nSPEAKER: \n \nKevin C. Myhre\, Esquire\nPartner\, Barley Snyder \nAs a patent attorney in the firm’s Intellectual Property Practice Group\, Kevin brings unique perspective to his work for clients at various stages. Kevin is involved in patent application preparation and prosecution\,\ntrademark matters\, and litigation support across all areas of intellectual property law\, including research and strategy development.\nKevin’s distinct background as a U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) patent examiner – where his field of examination focused on driverless or autonomous vehicle technology in the transportation industry – is complemented by his real-world experience working in the engineering community. As an aerospace engineering major at the University of Virginia\, he gained professional experience in the research and\ndevelopment department of a Philadelphia-area airline safety manufacturer. Further rounding out his unique experience\, several years into his career as a patent attorney\, Kevin immersed himself in the European\npatent process for four weeks by participating in a work-exchange arrangement with a Munich-based intellectual property law firm.\nBecause many of the applications Kevin examined on behalf of the USPTO were related to driverless or autonomous vehicle technology\, Kevin has a unique capability to assist clients with the optimal strategies and\npotential pitfalls in prosecuting patent applications focused on these technologies. Nevertheless\, whether an invention involves mechanical\, electrical\, or software-based technology\, the dual nature of Kevin’s experience has given him an intricate\, inside knowledge of how the patent process works\, what a patent examiner is looking for in a patent application\, and the best course to chart for representing a client throughout a range of patent-related matters.\nOutside of his work with clients\, Kevin has committed himself to improving the quality of life in suburban Philadelphia and the business world abroad through volunteering with both local and international\norganizations including the Boy Scouts\, his local economic development council and the American Intellectual Property Law Association. In his free time\, Kevin enjoys running in 5K races along with his family\nthroughout suburban Philadelphia to aid charitable causes\, especially those that support access to legal assistance for those in need. \nQUESTIONS?\nEmail Lexi Driendl (lexi@lancasterbar.org)\, Continuing Legal Education & Marketing Coordinator

SUMMARY:*FREE* Be It Resolved… Striving for a (Realistic) Work/Life Balance in 2026 (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:As part of our 2025 Membership Week celebration\, we are pleased to offer this virtual CLE at no cost to all current LBA members. This complimentary registration is available exclusively to LBA members.\nONLINE REGISTRATION INCLUDED BELOW.\nCLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD A REGISTRATION FORM\n \nEvent Description \nWe are at that time again. Namely\, the approach of the new year. Resolution time. Most people don’t stick to them. Research has shown that within weeks\, only about 10% or so of the resolvers accomplish their resolutions—with the majority of the other resolvers abandoning them. And lawyers?? How many of us in practice do “take five”\, or even four? How many don’t take anything? We feel we have to be super lawyers. \nIn this informative presentation you will hear several suggestions on how to make New Year’s resolutions stick and not fizzle out like fireworks on a rainy night. But in this case they may not just light up the sky\, but brighten your life- both personally and professionally. \nRecent studies have shown that there has been a dramatic increase in impairment due to alcoholism\, addiction and mental health disorders among members of the legal profession. The statistics are compelling and clearly indicate that 1 out of 3 attorneys will likely have a need for substance use or mental health services at some point in their careers. \nMr. Quinn will discuss: \n\nThe early warning signs of impairment\, with special emphasis on stress\, burnout and trauma\, including the mental health and emotional impact they have on members of the legal profession.\nWell-being strategies that really work.\nHow the law firm culture impacts emotional distress and what can be done to improve it.\nThe free services that Lawyers Assistance Programs provide to lawyers\, judges\, their family members and law students.\nA close look at what barriers exist that prevent lawyers from seeking the help they need.\nThe role that education plays in breaking the stigma and fear associated with addiction and mental illness in the legal profession.\n\nCREDIT(S): \n1.0 ETHICS CREDIT \nSPEAKER: \n \nBrian S. Quinn\, Esquire\nEducation and Outreach Coordinator\, Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers of Pennsylvania \nBrian S.
