History and Benefits of the PATENTAX® TALK SERIES:
This lecture series began October 2009 to meet several needs:
1. In the current economy where CLE/CPE rates for tax
specialization talks average $30 per hour, a low-cost alternative
is needed. Anyone who has knowledge of a PATENTAX® TALK
can confer a significant benefit upon anyone able to attend.
Please pass this information along to others who can attend.
2. The Long Beach Area has traditionally lacked a tax discussion
Forum and has lacked the local availability of tax specialization
CLE/CPE credit for CPA's, Attorneys, & Enrolled Agents.
3. Members of the Public are too-often offered a "commercial"
concerning a variety of legal topics. The are usually given scant
information and are not often given a chance to hear talks
of the type that practitioners attend for continuing education.
The PATENTAX® TALK has content in sufficient depth to
justify continuing professional education credits from both the
State Bar of California & IRS, and yet is also open to the public.
4. The PATENTAX® TALK was designed as an experiment to
determine if non-"super technical" tax topics could be selected
to draw equal amounts of attendance from tax specialists (tax
practitioners including tax lawyers, CPA's & Enrolled Agents)
and non-tax specialists (general attorneys and members of the
public), especially if the talks were offered for free to everyone.
5. What is PATENTAX® ; Who is Harrington & Harrington?
Our objective is protection of the client's technology & business,
and taking advantage of tax provisions in the client's startup &
ongoing business, licensing, & end of business cycle. We
recommend asset protection where possible, and the purchase of
insurance for patent infringement where applicable (which can help
to put the client on a more substantial defensive stance). We are
generally not an IP litigating firm, as we are focused upon helping
clients conserve & preserve their holdings rather than simply cause
litigation drainage, as well as positioning for more advantageous tax
treatment. We want to talk with people who need help in creating
and protecting intellectual property and in helping the client take
advantage of tax provisions benefiting them.
Technical areas include electrical engineering, chemical engineering, & mechanical
engineering, tax problems, intellectual property tax problems relating to patents and
trademarks. We try to help every client start business the right way by selecting the
proper trademark which is not descriptive of the goods and services, preferably not a
dictionary term, no last names, no geographics and neither scandalous nor closely related
to another mark. Why? Because such a mark will: (1) maximize goodwill. (2) Reduce the
probability of trademark lawsuits, the cost to you of which are generally NOT
DEDUCTIBLE, (3) Reduce the probability of confusion and having the return from
advertising expenditures end up in your competitors pockets, and (4) Maximize the tax
effects and the control effects at the end of your business life so that a low tax rate sale
(capital gains if possible), or a more secure sale (owner financed if need be) is achieved.
If you pick a bad mark, the litigation and loss of the advantages that could have been
had are difficult to overcome. Our objective is all of these things, as well as a smooth
trademark application process.

The Pennsylvania Bar Institute is offering Practice before the Department of Veterans Affairs on August 12, 2010, Live from Mechanicsburg and via Simulcast and Webcast across the state.
Effective July 1, 2008, any attorney wishing to assist claimants in the preparation, presentation and prosecution of claims for VA benefits must be accredited by the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) for that purpose.
The initial accreditation process consists of application (VA Form 21a) to the General Counsel of the VA, self certification of admission information concerning practice before any other court, bar, or State or Federal Agency, and a determination of character and fitness.
To download the Appointment of Individual as Claimant's Representative Form go to:www.va.gov/va forms.
The General Counsel will presume an attorney's character and fitness to practice before the DVA based on State Bar membership in good standing unless the General Counsel receives credible information to the contrary.
As a further condition of initial accreditation, attorneys are required to complete at least 3 hours of qualifying continuing legal education (CLE) during the first 12 month period following the date of initial accreditation by DVA.
To qualify, a CLE course must be approved by any State Bar Association, and at a minimum must cover the following topics: representation before the DVA, claims procedures, basic eligibility for VA benefits, right to appeal, disability compensation, dependency and indemnity compensation and pension.
To maintain accreditation, attorneys must complete an additional 3 hours of qualifying CLE on veterans benefits law and procedure not later than 3 years from the date of initial accreditation and every 2 years thereafter.
The Pennsylvania Bar Institute is pleased to present this initial training requirement. Join the expert faculty as they present a program that will meet and surpass the requirements set down by DVA .
Please Note: It is the view of the DVA that you must complete the initial accreditation process before taking the CLE requirement. Should you have questions about the DVA CLE requirement, you can call 202-461-4995 for clarification.
This program is being offered live and at a number of simulcast locations. The live presentation will be at:
PBI Conference Center

No Longer Available: The Essential Components of a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Filing 2010
EDITTED 12/26/2012:
This program appears to no longer be available. For more CLE on bankrupcty, please see: http://4freecle.blogspot.com/search/label/bankruptcy
---------------------------------------------
The recession and foreclosure crisis have created a tidal wave of interest in bankruptcy and filings are at a record high. Many clients are unrepresented and bankruptcy clinics are in great demand. There is a critical need for pro bono attorneys to assist Californians at all levels. Additionally, many practitioners are looking to bankruptcy law as a way to either supplement their current practice or actually developing bankruptcy as a new practice emphasis. The practice of bankruptcy law changed dramatically with the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 (BAPCPA). The implications of BAPCPA will take years to develop and settle out. In the meantime the practice is ever changing and can be quite complicated with even the simplest form of bankruptcy, Chapter 7. This program was developed for brand new practitioners and those who are either not familiar with the practice or have not practiced bankruptcy law since the passage of BAPCPA. The program will focus on Chapter 7 bankruptcy, from the day a new client walks into your office to the day you receive notice that they have successfully received a discharge and their case is closed.
