Would you like to be part of the ECTA family? Find out everything you need to know!

ECTA has different membership categories for a very low annual fee (Ordinary, Associate, Affiliate, Retired, Corporate and Member in Education). Select the one that suits you best and start benefitting from our members-only advantages!

Being an ECTA member will give you the opportunity to meet IP professionals from all around the EU and beyond, exchange experiences, learn and have fun during the multiple networking events, especially the ECTA Annual Conference where, as a member, you can participate at a reduced fee!

Besides, ECTA regularly organises many other initiatives and learning opportunities, such as the ECTA Alicante Round Table in February, ECTA ®etreat in March, ECTA Autumn Meeting in October (for Supervisory Board and Committee members) and several other workshops and webinars on the latest IP case law, legislative and policy developments, which are accessible at a reduced fee for our members.

You might also like to join one of our Committees, depending on your area of interest in IP. As a Committee member, you will actively strive for the balance of IP rights by contributing to many projects, working groups, meetings, initiatives with the European Commission, WIPO, EUIPO and other stakeholders. In this regard, the ECTA General Committee Elections are just around the corner, and the call for applications will be launched in January 2021!

As an ECTA member, you will also have access to the private part of our website, where you will find past ECTA Bulletins, the recordings of all ECTA learning initiatives, follow the work of our Committees closely, consult our updated calendar and much more. But that is not all! The ECTA APP also provides a dedicated feature for our members, namely the ECTA Member Guide. With a few clicks, you can easily contact other ECTA members through a membership list, be updated on the upcoming ECTA events and activities, as well as follow the latest IP news.

Last but not least, you can get yourself noticed in the IP Community by contributing to the ECTA Bulletin and news section of our website.

If you are already an ECTA member, please remember to renew your membership by January 2021!

We are looking forward to welcoming you to the ECTA family! Should you need any support or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at ecta@ecta.org, we will be pleased to help you.
