“The International Trademark Association (INTA) is currently accepting submissions of original papers on trademark law or a matter that directly
relates to, or affects, trademarks for its 2018 Ladas Memorial Award competition. INTA’s Ladas Memorial Award is an annual international competition that is open to both students and professionals. INTA will award the authors of the top two papers in the student category and the top paper in the professional category. These papers will be considered for possible publication in The Trademark Reporter (TMR), INTA’s legal journal; publication will be subject to the TMR Committee’s editorial review and approval.The award was established in 1995 in memory of Stephen P. Ladas, a distinguished practitioner and author, and is funded by Ladas & Parry, LLP, a law firm with offices in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., London, and Munich. According to INTA CEO Etienne Sanz de Acedo—
"INTA’s Ladas Memorial Award recognizes original scholarly works that address relevant, timely, and emerging issues in the field of trademark law. In honor of the late Stephen P. Ladas, we acknowledge both students’ and professionals’ contributions of thought leadership and research on matters that directly impact trademarks, and we provide an opportunity to increase exposure to their important work."Pursuant to the official rules and requirements, the papers will be judged on the following criteria: nature, breadth, and timeliness of subject(s) addressed, originality of subject and of thought, extent of research and scholarship, and quality of writing. Eligible students must be enrolled as either full-time or part-time law or graduate students. Professional authors may be legal practitioners, business professionals, and/or academics.
The student winners will each receive U.S. $2,500 and complimentary registration to the 2018 INTA Annual Meeting, which takes place in May. The professional winner will receive a set of Stephen P. Ladas’s three-volume treatise, Patents, Trademarks, and Related Rights, and complimentary registration to the 2018 INTA Annual Meeting.
The deadline to submit a paper is January 19, 2018. INTA will announce the winners in March 2018. To submit a paper, visit here. Please contact ladasaward@inta.org with any questions.”
It would be great to read in March 2018 that the winner is also an avid IPKat reader.

No comments:
All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
