ECTA 42ND ANNUAL CONFERENCE IN ANTWERP - A GLIMPSE BEHIND THE CURTAIN! INTERVIEW WITH MARIE-CHRISTINE SEILER, MODERATOR OF THE SESSION ‘EU CASE LAW UPDATE’
07/05/2024
REGISTER NOW and join us at the ECTA 42nd Annual Conference in Antwerp!

As always at the ECTA Annual Conference, our attendees will benefit from the traditional session on the most recent EU case law, this year moderated by Marie-Christine Seiler (Merx Pütz Rechtsanwälte PartmbB, Germany):

Introduce yourself and your link to ECTA.

My name is Marie-Christine Seiler. I am a German attorney at law and partner in the Munich law firm Merx Pütz Rechtsanwälte, active in IP, health & beauty. I have been an enthusiastic member of ECTA for decades and am currently Vice-Chair of the ECTA Harmonization Committee and part of the ECTA Supervisory Board. I am very much looking forward to moderating the traditional ECTA case law session at the next Annual Conference in Antwerp and seeing you there!

Introduce the topic of your Conference session.

This session on Friday afternoon will provide you with a compact overview of the latest EU case law with important key decisions of the EUIPO, the GC, the CJEU and the EU trade mark courts. In addition, these decisions will be explained and analysed by three absolute legal experts.

Introduce the panel of your Conference session.


My panel for ECTA’s case law session is made up of three high-calibre speakers:

Judge Gustavo Andrés Martín, European Union Trade Mark Court, Spain
Virginia Melgar, Chairperson of the 5th Board of Appeal at EUIPO
Alexander von Mühlendahl, German attorney at law at Bardehle Padenberg, DE

Why should Conference participants join your session, and to whom in particular will your session be directed?

Our EU case law session is clearly a highlight of the ECTA Annual Conference. The judgments and their detailed analyses promise an excellent update of recent key decisions that simply need to be known. The three speakers will report from their practical experience and share their insights.

This session is, therefore, of high interest to everyone in the world of IP - from IP beginners to the more experienced colleagues.

Why should IP colleagues register for the ECTA Annual Conference?

At the ECTA Annual Conference, hundreds of IP enthusiasts and experts meet to exchange ideas and experiences and also to further their legal education. The presentations offered cover basically all areas of IP law, from trade marks, designs, copyright and unfair competition to - brand new - patents, so there is something of interest for everyone. The Conference is also a great opportunity to build and expand your international network of professionals, colleagues and friends and to keep in touch in person. And all this takes place in a marvellous setting in interesting locations and cities, this year in magnificent Antwerp.

You won't regret it - be part of it!
