This October Bulletin features:

• Exclusive interviews with Sven Stürmann, President of the EUIPO Boards of Appeal; ECTA Award winners; and leaders of the National Association of Patent Attorneys of Ukraine.
• The continuation of our Art. 8(4) EUTMR series, this time focusing on Bulgaria, France, Italy, and Spain. By the end of the series, we aim to create a 'guide' offering lawyers an overview of the relevant national regulations.
• The latest case law reviews and insightful articles covering the 25th Anniversary of the UDRP, IP and SMEs, UK deviations from EU IP law post-Brexit, and the potential of a Pan-African Trade Mark Registration System.
• Updates from our International Trade, Internet, Harmonization, and Patent Committees, plus insights into the recently launched monthly ECTA UPC Coffee, an exclusive initiative for ECTA members.
• A refreshed ‘New Members’ section, introducing new ECTA members interviewed during the Annual Conference in Berlin.

Thank you to the ECTA Publications Committee for another excellent edition! A print-friendly version is available for members only in the ECTA Library (private site).
