On May 17-21, the annual conference of the International Trademark Association — INTA Annual Meeting was held in San Diego.

WTS Patent Attorneys was represented at the event by: Agnieszka Śnieżko – partner and patent attorney specializing in the protection of trademarks and industrial designs, Andrzej Witek – partner and patent attorney, and Katarzyna Kwestarz – patent attorney specializing in the protection of trademarks and industrial designs.

This year’s edition of the INTA Annual Meeting confirmed this event’s reputation as one of the most important in the IP industry. It gathered over 10,000 guests: IP protection specialists, business leaders, representatives of the government sector and NGOs.

The leading theme of this year’s conference, “The Business of IP”, turned out to be a good choice. Numerous educational sessions and discussion panels stimulated reflections on how innovation and intellectual property protection can contribute to business success.

INTA provided numerous opportunities to renew acquaintances with our friends from all over the world, as well as to establish new valuable contacts. This was facilitated in particular by the rich programme of social events.

We thank our hosts for ensuring the highest level of organisation.
