IP Days 2021

Global IP Perspective - Latest developments and hot topics

We are delighted to invite you to Meissner Bolte’s IP-Days seminar on September 30, 2021.

For the first time in the near 20 year history of our IP Days, we will be holding a digital seminar. Whilst we would like nothing more than offer our usual warm welcome to you here in Munich, it is clear that the COVID-19 pandemic makes this an unrealistic option and, thus, we have to be responsible.

This year’s programme will focus on “Global IP Perspective - Latest developments and hot topics” providing us with perspectives and practices from the key worldwide jurisdictions. We are delighted to be hosting experts from China, Japan, Korea as well as the USA and the Netherlands – as well as giving some insights into the key EU jurisdictions of Germany and the UK.

Throughout our programme, we shall be covering new developments and legal aspects on Patents, Designs and Trademarks.

Our seminar will end with a stimulating discussion concerning “Global IP Perspectives” with our international speakers.

Event date: September 30, 2021
To join the livestream please register here: IP Days 2021 – events.mb.de

If you are not able to attend the livestream, please also register. The seminar will be recorded and we will send you the link afterwards.

We look forward to your participation and sincerely wish you a safe and healthy 2021 so that we can again meet in person in 2022!
