U.S. Citizenship Resources for Caribbean American Heritage Month

 USPTOvideo: Caribbean American Heritage Month

USPTO celebrates Caribbean American Heritage Month by exploring the many nations and one voice that our Caribbean American employees bring to the agency. The many nations of the Caribbean - from Haiti, to Jamaica, to Guyana and more − share their diverse racial, cultural, and religious backgrounds as well as cuisines, carnivals, festivals, music, dance, film, and literature that enrich our social landscape. This month, we proudly recognize the tremendous contributions Caribbean Americans bring to the realm of Intellectual Property and to the USPTO community.
