Young Lawyers Contest - France
The Academy of European Law (ERA) is organizing a "Young Lawyers Contest" in cooperation with Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe (CCBE), to be held on 6-7 September 2018 at the ERA Conference Centre in Trier. The aim of the contest will be to bring together young lawyers and to spotlight the importance of European law for their future legal practice. Contestants will be judged on their knowledge of European law and advocacy skills. Further details can be found here. Young lawyers wishing to compete should contact their relevant participating Bar before 12 April 2018. See here for a list of participating Bars.
Hague System Seminar - Denmark
On 15 March 2018, MARQUES is hosting a seminar in collaboration with WIPO on the practical aspects of the functioning and use of the Hague system, with a focus on providing European users of the system with guidance on Japan, the Republic of Korea or USA designations under the Hague Agreement.

More UK IPO intellectual videos!
Did your kids enjoy Nancy and the Meerkats? Are they looking for some more IP-related fun? Do not fear, the UK IPO has launched a new series, Meet the Malwares, in which four less-than-lovable characters, Malware, Ransomware, Adware and Spyware, warn us of the danger of downloading movies from illegal sites.
Good luck message
Finally, good luck from IPKat to everyone across Europe taking their pre-EQE or EQEs next week!

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.
