He attended a presentation on ‘A Psychological Thriller – Mediation in Action’.

He also attended a session on Global Data Protection – Beyond GDPR: Developments and Best Practices for Trademark Practitioners. The session covered topics such as primer on privacy law regimes in Canada and the US, new and developing laws in Brazil, India and Japan, global privacy law impacts on trademark rights enforcement and best practices for counseling marketing departments and business partners.
Last be not least he attended a session on Mastering the Protection of GUI (Graphical user interfaces), which allow users of electronic devices to interact with a specific device using pictures rather than having to give the device commands. The session was designed to provide tips and guidance for obtaining protection for GUIs around the world using patents, designs, trademarks and copyrights.
Overall it has been a successful INTA!
