This must-attend event has been specifically designed for all senior trade mark and design administrators. It will bring you up to date with recent EUIPO legal reforms, focusing on changes to the law and practice, including a case law summary.
The programme will show you the differences between EU, US, UK and foreign design filing practices and how you should approach these. It will also highlight the pitfalls to be aware of in relation to trade marks in the US, as well as focusing on other country-specific issues that you need to be aware of.
There will be extensive coverage of the common issues that can be encountered and how to deal with them to best effect. You will also learn about the international registrations of trade marks and designs under both the Madrid System and the Hague System and how recent developments will affect you.
