National Marks and CTMs: Enforcement and Future Harmony 2010

Join INTA at an advanced-level, two-day conference in Barcelona, Spain on December 9 – 10, for an insightful analysis of how the results of the European Commission’s study on the overall functioning of Europe’s trademark systems will impact practitioners like you in Europe and beyond. Distinguished experts will discuss the relationship between the national and Community trademark systems, the types of changes recommended for the systems, and whether there will be future harmony for national and Community trademarks.
Other hot topics include:

• Dilution and luxury brands: do they get the protection they deserve?
• Where and how should you use your mark to get the most out of it?
• Showing acquired distinctiveness – what, where, when?
• Jurisdiction of the CTM Courts – Is the sky the limit?
• Advertising in the Virtual World
• What do you get in the case of CTM infringement?
• And more!

At this Conference you’ll also be able to network with high-level government officials and judges, in-house counsels and leading trademark practitioners, and earn valuable CLE and CPD credits!
