IP and Retail: first the conference, now the competition

- , ,
Sometimes the IPKat's nagging does pay off. For some while now, he has been chipping away at CLT Conferences, which organises next month's IP and Retail conference, and pleading for that company to relent. In the olden days, if he was participating in a conference he could usually induce the company to offer a free place as a prize for a competition relating to the event's subject matter. But subsequently, with the recession, sub-prime banking crises and the growth of popularity of webinars, these precious free places dried up. Good news was however just around the corner: today this Kat, who is chairing IP and Retail on 13 February, heard that, since registrations were going well, the company was happy to give him a complimentary registration.

Now for the competition. It's a chance for readers to complete a limerick on the theme of intellectual property in the retail sector. It must with the line
"Merpel once entered a store ..."
 Can you write the next four lines in a manner that alludes both to the retail sector and intellectual property rights? If so, this competition if just right for you!  The best entry gets free admission to the conference -- plus a tasty and equally free lunch. Entries, by email here with the subject line "Merpel goes shopping", must be received by close of play on Thursday 6 February. Competitors may submit more than one entry. The best entries will be published on this weblog.  Entries which are not in the traditional five-line limerick format will be disqualified -- though Merpel reserves the right to post them here too.

To inspect the prize, click here for sight of the conference brochure, which has all the details.

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.
