ILN Specialty Groups > Intellectual Property

Headed by Marga Wolpert of Wolpert Rechtsanw�lte, Bad Homburg, Germany and Norman Zivin of Cooper & Dunham LLP, New York, New York, the Intellectual Property Group provides the platform for enhanced communication, enabling all of its members to easily service the needs of their clients requiring advice on cross-border transactions. The group has hosted two events in conjunction with the International Trademark Association's (INTA) Annual Meeting, most recently showcasing their collective expertise at a buffet lunch in San Diego. The lunch, which brought together ILN members, clients, and potential clients, followed one of the morning's concurrent sessions - "No Longer a Missing Link - The CTM and the Madrid Protocol." With the United States joining the Madrid Protocol on November 2, 2003, the informal discussions at lunch were an interesting forum to talk about the reasons for the use or non-use of the Madrid Protocol, based on the group Members' experiences from two perspectives, including the reasons for the filing of International Applications by American Companies using the Madrid Protocol and the reasons to request the extension of trademark protection in the United States by foreign companies using the Madrid Protocol.
