MARQUES is the European association representing the interests of brand owners since 1986. The 2022 edition of its annual meeting is expected to bring together, in a physical set-up, representatives from across 81 counties, globally. The event reflects the theme selected by the organizers: Celebrating Marks.
The sessions of the conference will tackle a variety of topics that concern the brand owners and those offering adjacent services, with a particular aim of addressing, and, ideally, answering the question on “how sustainability and new technologies will shape the future of brands”. These are structured in panels titled:
- The impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain on trademarks
- Towards a digital jurisdiction
- Sustainability in the spotlight
- How brands respond to external disruption
- Beyond reality: deepfakes, avatars and other creatures
- Branding alternative products?
- Judicial approaches to parasitic competition
- CJUE and General Court case update
Andreea Bende, Partner and head of the firm’s trademarks practice, will represent SIMION & BACIU during this highly anticipated event that will take place in Madrid, Spain, from 20 to 23 September 2022.
