The 2021 edition of the ECTA (R)etreat entitled 'Case Law of the EUIPO Boards of Appeal and German Courts in relation to trade marks and designs' is coming up on 10 March 2021 (15:30-18:00 Brussels time) and is co-organised with Müller Schupfner & Partner, DE.

The event is usually organised in March in one of the largest cities in central Europe, though this year’s edition will be taking place online, allowing a larger number of IP professionals to benefit from a high-level discussion. Seize this chance and sign up free of charge!

You will be welcomed by ECTA President Anette Rasmussen (AWA, DK) who will introduce the event and the Association before handing over to our skilful moderator Marie-Christine Seiler (ECTA Harmonization Committee Vice-Chair, Müller Schupfner & Partner, DE) and speakers: Lars Meinhardt (Judge at the Higher Regional Court Munich, 29th Civil Senate, DE), Harri Salmi (Member of the Boards of Appeal, EUIPO, ES) and Christoph Bartos (Member of the Boards of Appeal and Mediator, EUIPO, ES).
