[Kip Currier: In yesterday's lecture on International Intellectual Property, I was just talking a bit about the new IP developments contained within the U.S., Mexico and Canada Agreement (USMCA) that resulted from this year's Trump administration-led North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) changes. So it was very timely to get notice today of this upcoming (free to ABA members) American Bar Association (ABA) webinar on Thursday, November 29, 2018.

"Modernizing NAFTA into a 21st Century Trade Agreement:
The New USMCA & IP
Thursday, November 29, 12:00 - 1:00 PM CT
1.0 Hours CLE Credit

On September 30, 2018, United States, Mexico, and Canada reached an agreement to modernize the 24-year-old NAFTA into a 21st century, high-standard trade agreement. The new USMCA supports mutually beneficial trade leading to freer markets, fairer trade, and robust economic growth in North America. The Intellectual Property (IP) chapter of the agreement provides strong and effective protection and enforcement of IP rights critical to driving innovation, creating economic growth, and supporting American jobs.
