ECTA CONFERENCE IN PRAGUE - INTERVIEW WITH FABIO ANGELINI, MODERATOR OF THE SESSION ‘DOMAIN ABUSE AND TRADE MARK ABUSE’
09/03/2023
The ECTA 41st Annual Conference ‘Exploring IP Magic’ is coming up in Prague from 28 June to 1 July 2023!

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE EARLY-BIRD PRICING AND REGISTER NOW!

Among other interesting sessions, we will discuss domain abuse and trade mark abuse. Let’s learn more from the moderator of this panel, Fabio Angelini (Bugnion S.p.A.):

1. Introduce yourself and your link to ECTA.

My name is Fabio Angelini. I am an Italian and US attorney specialising in Intellectual Property. I am currently the Chair of the ECTA Copyright Committee and member of the EUIPO-Link Committee. I’ve been a member of ECTA since 1996 and, during this time, I served as member of the ECTA Supervisory Board and Chair of the Law Committee.

2. Could you please introduce the topic of your Conference session?

The workshop ‘Domain abuse and trade mark abuse’ will be held on Wednesday, 28 June 2023, from 16.00-18.00. What ‘abuse’ means and what are the legitimate and non-legitimate conducts are issues which do not always lend themselves to simple and easy answers. The panelists will explore controversial aspects of trade mark law and practice and offer perspectives which will help IP practitioners navigate an increasingly complex panorama.

3. Who will be on the panel for your session?

- Dimitris Botis, Director Legal Department, EUIPO

- Ivett Paulovics, ECTA Internet and EUIPO-Link Committee member, Fasano Paulovics STA, IT

- David S. Gooder, Commissioner for Trademarks, United States Patent and Trademark Office, US

- Lenka Nahlovska, Secretary and Head of Domain Name Disputes, Czech Arbitration Court, CZ

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

There are many issues which arise out of the very peculiar subject matter of ‘abuse’. This session will span different topics and will give practical and not only theoretical insights that may be extremely useful in daily practice. We also plan to allow enough time for the audience to pose questions, thus attending should be of interest to all IP practitioners.

5. Why should IP colleagues register for the ECTA Annual Conference?

The ECTA Annual Conference is surely one of the top IP events worldwide as it combines highly expert educational sessions with ample time to network with colleagues from all over the world at several social events. The ECTA Annual Conference is a must-attend event for every IP practitioner and it brings great value to its attendees, allowing both personal and professional development.
