Why IKEA joined MARQUES








Cecilia Emanuelson
IKEA
  "I believe that MARQUES provides fantastic support function for anybody involved in IP irrespective of you being in-house or a private practitioner.

I think that MARQUES provides an outstanding quality of educational opportunities. The speakers at the meetings are from different areas of interest, very knowledgeable on their subjects, and often deliver a different point of view from what trade mark attorneys are used to. The MARQUES website I find particularly helpful with case notes and newsletters which are both pertinent and interesting.

I would also like to mention the close and privileged contacts which MARQUES has with both OHIM and WIPO, which gives an assurance as to the trademark owners' interests being considered in all matters relating to lobbying."
