Exactly one calendar month ago, Class 46 told readers about the excellent and very full programme that was on offer in the lovely, romantic city of Dublin on Friday 5 June. It's going to be one of the most complete MARQUES "Meet the Judges" events that has ever been held, with not only a good selection of judges taking part but also some seasoned trade mark practitioners.

Do take the chance to attend this excellent event which, if you have nothing to do when it ends, you may want to consider combining with a weekend in the magical city of James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, George Bernard Shaw, W. B. Yeats, Oscar Wilde and Bram Stoker -- creator of the notorious Count Dracula (this character gives a gory nuance to the meaning of the word "stakeholder" ...).
