It's all happening in Finland these days: one of the European Union's coolest countries -- quite literally -- Finland is famed for its unisex saunas, impenetrable forests, ice cream consumption (the Finns are the highest per-capita consumers in Europe) and trade mark tussles (check out our Finnish contributions to Class 46, thanks to Tiina Komppa). Now you can meet the Finnish intellectual property judges too, thanks to MARQUES. Here's the story:

MEET THE JUDGES - NEW IPR-COURT: EXPERIENCES AND LEGAL PRAXIS

MARQUES, the European Association of Trade Mark Owners invites you to the meet with the Finnish judges that regularly render judgments in trade mark and other related IP matters.

MARQUES is proud to bring to its members a continuing programme of meetings with the European Judges which were established to promote knowledge and understanding of trade mark law and practice in individual jurisdictions throughout Europe.  

The judges will give lectures on the main substantive and procedural aspects of intellectual property law and unfair competition. There will also be an opportunity to put your questions to the judges.

The registration fee for this meeting is €350.
The seminar will be conducted in Finnish.

You can reserve your place via the MARQUES website here
