INTA (International Trademark Association) Annual Meeting 2024

Discover and better understand Trademark, Design, Patent and Copyright Protection in Europe

Join our colleagues Kilian Müller and Robert Harrison at the INTA Annual General Meeting in Atlanta to discuss European intellectual property issues.

Europe is one of the world’s most dynamic marketplaces, but European intellectual property law, with separate EU-wide and national or regional, trademark, design and patent registration systems, can be confusing. The challenges and opportunities within this legal framework are vast, reflecting the continent’s diverse linguistic, cultural, and legal landscapes. Whether you’re navigating the complexities of filing for a trademark or designs, or writing patents, understanding the nuances of enforcement, or staying ahead of an evolving legislative framework, knowledge and understanding of European trademark law is indispensable.

This year, we’d be delighted to meet you at the INTA Conference in Atlanta to explore the depths of European IP protection.

We are happy to discuss critical topics with you, including:

• Navigating the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EU IPO), European Patent Office (EPO), and National Offices: Strategies for successful filings, overcoming obstacles, and leveraging the EU’s harmonized system to your advantage.
• Enforcement and Litigation in Europe: Insights into cross-border disputes, the role of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), seizures of counterfeit products at the borders, and other effective enforcement strategies.
• Emerging Trends and Legislative Changes in Europe: Stay ahead with updates on the latest developments, including the impact of artificial intelligence, non-fungible tokens and digital transformation on trademark protection.

Our meetings are designed for IP professionals, business leaders, and anyone interested in the strategic importance of trademarks in securing a foothold in the European market. It’s an opportunity to share experiences, forge connections, and explore potential avenues for collaboration. As we look forward to the INTA Conference in Atlanta, we invite you to step into the world of European IP protection with us. Let’s connect, learn, and grow together in this ever-evolving field.

We are excited about the possibility of connecting with you in Atlanta and exploring the vibrant future of trademark protection together. See you there!
