ECTA 2nd Vice President Benjamin Fontaine and Head of Legal Affairs Anna Ostanina represented ECTA this week at the European Sister Organisations’ (ESO) meeting in Paris, gathering esteemed representatives from APRAM, BMM, CITMA, ECTA, GRUR, MARQUES, and UNION-IP.

Participants engaged in in-depth discussions on key challenges, joint initiatives, and recent developments in IP legislation and practice.

We sincerely thank all attendees for their valuable insights and exchanges. Special thanks to APRAM and CITMA for their seamless joint organisation of this important event, which aims to forge stronger ties between European based IP associations for a more balanced IP system and for the benefit of its users.

Continuing this tradition of sharing and collaboration, ECTA and GRUR will co-organise the next physical annual ESO meeting in 2026.
