Here's a final reminder that there is a truly excellent series of MARQUES seminars ahead in the very near future -- specially conceived for any readers [and we know there are many!] who have been frustrated in their attempts to secure International Trademark protection in the US.  Details of this seminar, which takes place in Amsterdam, Munich and London, are reproduced again below, for your comfort and convenience.

***************************************

"MARQUES and the USPTO: IRs and Designating the US": that's the title of a seminar that MARQUES is running, masterminded by the experienced Tove Graulund (Graulund Consulting, Denmark). For the uninitiated, Tove is a Life Member of MARQUES and a member of the MARQUES International Trade Mark Law & Practice Team (details of this team can be found here). 

According to impeccable sources:

The seminar will cover both legal and procedural issues, as well as explaining the tools available, and is designed to help applicants overcome objections when filing International Registrations based on the home application or registration. The seminar has been planned for the benefit of in-house counsel, trade mark lawyers and paralegals who work with the Madrid System on a daily basis.

Details of these seminars can be accessed via the MARQUES website if you click here. It comes in three versions:

• Amsterdam, The Netherlands, Monday, 24 October 2016
• Munich, Germany, Wednesday, 26 October 2016
• London, UK, Friday, 28 October 2016
