We are very pleased to let you know that Claudia Pappas of Thyssenkrupp Intellectual Property GmbH (Germany) took office as Chair of MARQUES at the Spring Team Meeting, held in Barcelona on 13-14 March 2025.

Claudia succeeds Antony Douglass of Specsavers Optical Group Ltd (UK), who has completed his two-year term.

Claudia joined Thyssenkrupp in 2016, having previously worked in private practice, and heads the trade mark department.

She was formerly 1st vice-Chair of MARQUES and has long been involved in the association, including on the Programming Team and the Corporate Focus Group.

Leo Longauer of LVMH (France) succeeds Claudia as 1st Vice-Chair and Tapio Blanc of F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG (Switzerland) becomes 2nd Vice-Chair.

All these appointments are for two years.
