2. Programme Synopsis:
Trade fairs are becoming more and more complicated. It is a time for new ideas and technologies, but also for fraud and counterfeiting. The industry is constantly evolving, but it can be difficult to keep up with all the changes.

Hence, we are glad to invite you to attend our webinar on “How to protect your Intellectual Property Rights at trade fairs internationally?”, which will take place on 20 June 2023 at 10:00 (CEST)/ 15.00 (ICT).

The training will be conducted by IP experts from the International IP SME Helpdesks. Welcome remarks will be delivered by a Representative of  European Exhibition Industry Alliance(EEIA).

During the training, our expert speakers will give you a thorough understanding of how important it is to protect your IP at trade fairs and what to do in case of infringement in the target market. You will hear about how best practices are developed, how to choose the right strategy, identify risks before they occur, and what EU businesses are doing right now to ensure their brands stay protected from counterfeiting activities during exhibitions or fairs worldwide.
