NEW YORK, Press Release - The annual Trademark
Administrators and Practitioners (TMAP) Meeting hosted by the International
Trademark Association (INTA) will bring together hundreds of professionals from
around the world on September 12 to 14 in Orlando, Florida, to hear from
experts on emerging trademark and brand-related issues, to share experiences
and best practices, and to participate in charitable and networking
opportunities.
The presentations are tailored
for both experienced and new trademark administrators, paralegals, and other
practitioners who focus on a global trademark portfolio and brand protection
strategies. Sessions have been expanded this year to include intellectual
property‒related topics that many trademark professionals are increasingly
handling in their roles—such as trademark advertising, data privacy, and
copyrights and designs. In addition, an entire session will focus on
professional development.
Speakers hail from law firms and
brands worldwide, offering a global perspective from Africa, Asia, Europe,
Latin America, the Middle East, and North America.
“TMAP has gained a reputation for
being engaging and valuable for those new to the trademark industry as well as
those who are highly experienced, and this year’s meeting promises to do the
same,” said INTA CEO Etienne Sanz de Acedo. “Since we have professionals
attending from around the world and U.S. registrants working on international
projects, we will be delivering compelling content that presents a global view
of the issues affecting all of us.”
Among the numerous networking
opportunities, for the second consecutive year, the TMAP Meeting includes a
team-building event to support a local charity. On September 12, attendees can
volunteer to sort and bag produce at Second Harvest Food Bank of South Florida,
a nonprofit organization that provides food and other services to individuals
and feeding programs in Central Florida.
