Brand Protection Seminar & Pre-Conference Networking Event

Wednesday, January 8, 2013 from 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM EST

Squire Sanders, 30 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, NY

As internet sales and overseas consumers become increasingly important for brands, retail and apparel companies are becoming increasingly aware of the need for a comprehensive, robust strategy to protect intellectual property. On January 8th, the evening prior to the USA-ITA/AISA Annual Conference, please join Squire Sanders IP experts from the Hong Kong/Shanghai and New York City offices for a special seminar on brand protection in both the United States and China. The U.S. and China, of course, present different brand protection issues and require different brand protection strategies. The speakers have years of experience helping companies, including fashion houses, adequately protect their trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets in both the U.S. and Asia. You'll learn how established, as well as new-to-market, brands can proactively protect themselves from trademark counterfeiting.

Speakers:

Nick Chan, Squire Sanders Hong Kong/Shanghai

Victor Genecin, Squire Sanders New York

This seminar will be followed by a pre-conference networking reception, which will provide an opportunity for you to meet-and-greet with USA-ITA leadership and counsel, USA-ITA Board of Directors, and leading brands, retailers, importers, and service providers in the textile and apparel importing community. This event is free for all registered conference attendees - please complete your registration for the conference prior to signing up for the seminar if you wish to take advantage of this special deal!
