MARQUES is hosting its first European Judges Meeting in Amsterdam on 18 January 2019.

Following the popularity of national judges meetings, which have been organised by MARQUES all over the world, this new one-day event will bring together IP-specialist judges and practitioners from across Europe to discuss developments in the CJEU and General Court, EUIPO Boards of Appeal and national courts.

Confirmed speakers include judges from various EU countries as well as members of the General Court and Boards of Appeal.

Among the topics on the agenda are: jurisdiction issues in EU trade mark law; how case law from Luxembourg has helped build trade mark law in the EU; and complex marks and those with weak/non-distinctive components. There will also be round tables where judges will answer questions raised by practitioners. The event will conclude with a drinks reception.

This European Judges Meeting is sure to be popular, so reserve your place now!

The seminar will be conducted in English and a certificate of attendance will be made available upon request.
