Call For Participants: First Annual INTA Trademark Scholarship Symposium
The International Trademark Association (“INTA”) is pleased to host its First Annual Trademark Scholarship Symposium, which will be held during the 132nd INTA Annual Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts, on Monday, May 24, 2010. The Symposium will take place in connection with INTA’s Academic Day schedule, which will feature a series of programs of particular relevance to professors and students interested in trademark law and practice.
The Symposium will allow scholars working in the trademark field to participate in small panel presentations of their works-in-progress related to trademark law. In a workshop setting, presenting scholars will have the opportunity for feedback and dialogue with other academics and accomplished trademark practitioners. The Symposium will provide a unique opportunity for presenters to further develop their scholarship based on the insights of trademark specialists. Participants in the Symposium will also be able to attend other INTA Academic Day programs, including an Academic Forum panel, a Trademark Professors’ lunch meeting featuring presentations by leading in-house trademark counsel, and other networking events.
The Symposium is organized by the INTA Professor Task Force:
Mark Janis, Professor of Law and Ira C. Batman Faculty Fellow, Indiana University Maurer School of Law
David C. Berry, Professor of Law and Director, Graduate Program in Intellectual Property Law, Thomas M. Cooley Law School
Antonio Selas, Professor of Law, Law School of Universidad Carlos III, Madrid Spain
Megan M. Carpenter, Associate Professor of Law, Texas Wesleyan University School of Law
Interested authors should send an abstract (approximately 300 words) describing a current scholarship project in the field of trademark or unfair competition law by March 1, 2010 to Prof. David C. Berry at berryd@cooley.edu. Questions and requests for further information can be directed to Prof. Megan M. Carpenter at mcarpenter@law.txwes.edu.
