Law Committee
Chair Klaudia Blach-Morysinska Poland | | Vice-Chair Andrea K. Marx Germany | | Secretary Maria Antonella Incardona Italy |
DESCRIPTION
The Law Committee has the primary function to follow, study, analyze, discuss and report to ECTA President, ECTA Council and the ECTA Management Committee developments on general and specific issues of EU trademark law and practice. In the course of its activity the Law Committee regularly drafts position papers on several issues, often in conjunction with other ECTA Committees, as well as participates (through its Chair, Vice-Chair or volunteers members) to official meetings and/or sessions with EUIPO, WIPO, the EU Commission and other sister organizations. The Law Committee, being composed of private practitioners and in-house counsels working both in EU Member States and abroad, seeks to reflect ECTA’s constituency, believing that a diverse membership is a key factor in representing and giving voice to the largest possible number of EU and non-EU trademark law experiences.
