September 2024
MARQUES, the European association representing brand owners since 1986, is gearing up for its 2024 annual event, that will take place in Stockholm, Sweden, from September 24 to 27, 2024.
This gathering will center around the theme THE MANY TRAITS OF THE TRADEMARK EXPERT.
In its 38th edition, the event will tackle a variety of topics that concern the brand owners and those offering adjacent services, with a particular aim of addressing and, ideally, answering, as indicated by organizers, concerns on:
- litigation and public opinion
- working in areas outside your comfort zone
- understanding local traditions
- navigating consumer values
- successful online enforcement
- how to demonstrate market realities before EUIPO
- visual disclaimers in designs
- the latest EU case law on trade marks and designs
Also, the organizers announced plans for workshops on artificial intelligence, trade secrets, co-branding, copyright in IP enforcement, and amicus curiae briefs.
Andreea Bende will attend this reference event for the intellectual property professionals’ community. She is an active member of the European Trademarks Law and Practice Team within MARQUES (the User Association supporting the interests of Brand Owners) where she currently acts as Co-Vice-Chair.
As part of her involvement with MARQUES, Andreea represents the Association before the EUIPO in the working groups dedicated to the ECP 7 – IP Legislative and Practice Repository, respectively in the working groups dedicated to the HDB and the Classification of Goods and Services, and has recently participated in a User Group Meeting focusing on pressing issues regarding the User Area of the EUIPO.
