June has just arrived, and we are looking forward to having you on board for our upcoming initiatives and meetings!

We are about to launch the registration for the new online ECTA Debate Club, a series of educational and networking IP sessions open to a maximum of 30 members. Here is what you can expect to debate on:

Tuesday, 15 June (14.00-15.30 CET): Registrability of trade marks against public order or morality

Thursday, 17 June (14.00-15.30 CET): NFTs – A brave new world, or the emperor’s new clothes?
(Session Partner: Wiggin LLP)

Friday, 25 June (14.00-15.30 CET): Proof of use of a trade mark. A very important factor for all countries?
(Session Partner: Koushos Korfiotis Papacharalambous LLC)

Tuesday, 29 June (11.00-12.30 CET): Are we in a new era in the fight against trade mark squatting in China?
(Session Partner: AWA)

All sessions are organised with the support of Knowledge Partner of the ECTA Debate Club June 2021 Koushos Korfiotis Papacharalambous LLC.

Save the date and look out for ECTA emails announcing each session separately with the respective registration link or check the ECTA Private Site/News Section. Places will be assigned on a first come-first served basis, so make sure you apply quickly!

Besides, from 21 to 25 June, we will hold online Supervisory Board and Committee Meetings. While the Supervisory Board will discuss ECTA strategic and financial aspects, Committee Meetings will be an invaluable opportunity to network with peers, advance projects and learn about recent case law, legislative and policy developments. All ECTA members are invited to join us at the Annual General Meeting on 25 June.
