There are sooooo many IP conferences coming up in England this March that many IP practices and businesses are going to have to recruit extra staff just to read the advertisements for them. But CLT's Copying Without Infringing is a conference with a difference - it has its own competition, run by the IPKat, for which the prize is complimentary admission for the day in question (which is Tuesday 13 March 2007, if you were wondering), at the Cafe Royal, near London's very own Piccadilly Circus.
The rules of the competition are as follows. The United Nations has just created a new agency, the World Office for the Environment (WOE), which is charged with preserving the health of the planet, combating global warming, grounding aeroplanes, stopping the burning of rainforests and other (it seems) unpopular measures. You have been commissioned to create a catchy slogan for WOE, of not more than 15 words, that will capture the hearts and minds of the wasteful, wanton inhabitants of the heaviest energy-consuming nations. Best slogans will be published on this weblog, of course. Feel free to compose in any language, but bear in mind that your slogans may have to be processed by Babelfish before the IPKat can comprehend them.
Closing date for the receipt of entries is midnight (GMT) on Monday 5 March. All entries should be sent to the IPKat here. Full programme and booking details available here.

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.
