Topical issues were in the areas of counterfeiting, trademarks and design rights, EU case law and the judicial system presented by a distinguished panel of judges and lawyers.

In his welcoming message, Simon Reeves, ECTA president, stated that “For our 28th Annual Conference, ECTA has put together a program based on a musical theme under the title ‘A Trade Mark Symphony’.”

“As our Prelude, we will start with a workshop dedicated to opposition proceedings in the European Community, the USA and Canada. During the first Movement of our Symphony, we will interview the main players at the European Commission, the World Intellectual Property Organization and the Office of Harmonization in the Internal Market,” he said.

The ECTA is the principal pan-European body representing the interests of those professionals who practice within the European Union in the fields of trademarks and related IP.
