Paul Taylor
Paul Taylor, an attorney with Ray Quinney & Nebeker, has been elected chair of the U.S. Bar's European Patent Office (EPO) Liaison Council. For over 30 years, the council has met annually with officials of the EPO, representing U.S. users of the EPO’s services. Typically, the meetings alternate annually between an EPO office in Europe and a location in the United States, often adjoining a meeting of one of the U.S. national IP groups. The council exists solely for the purpose of these meetings with the EPO, and providing a communications channel between the EPO and U.S. national, regional and local IP groups. It comprises one or two delegates from each of over 30 U.S. IP organizations. In addition to delegates, past chairs of the Council and guests invited by the current chair may also participate in council meetings.
