If Merpel and Tufty are there, they could maybe divide up and cover more traditionally academic ground. And maybe even get a photo op with la belle Elle at an A-list reception.<br /><br />So - who will be the keynote speaker next year? Maybe Carla Bruni? Angelina Jolie? Beyoncé Knowles? Probably not Naiomi Campbell or Britney Spears. Madonna could speak to issues such as the need for revision and the niceties of renewal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-77688554091300910012009-05-18T16:19:00.000+01:002009-05-18T16:19:00.000+01:00Actually Jeremy the old-style Madrid Agreement was...Actually Jeremy the old-style Madrid Agreement was quite popular over on the continent. The Germans were massive users of the system as it allowed a very cheap and reliable extension of trademark registrations. And since the French, Benelux, Italians and Swiss did not have any form of opposition or examination procedure most registrations went through on the nod. It was only the pesky Spanish who seemed to object to everything, sometimes on the most spurious grounds.<br /><br />The big break-through came of course with the realisation that French was no longer the language of the international trademark world and that English should probably be acceptable. This then lead to the recognition of the Madrid system throughout the English speaking world.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02789591295998616170noreply@blogger.com
