IP is an ever changing and developing area. And with it, so is the IPKat. So it is that time again when the IPKat team welcomes new contributors, says "thank you" and "see you soon" to some contributors, and shares news concerning the current Kats.
First up, the IPKat is delighted to welcome the following as new InternKats for the next six months.
InternKats
Wissam Bentazar
Wissam is a PhD candidate in Law at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU), researching unfair competition in the digital economies of the Arab world and the EU. She holds a Master’s in IP and New Technologies from Jagiellonian University and a law degree from Abdelmalek Essaâdi University. A self-taught front-end developer and lifelong animation enthusiast, Wissam initially learned to code to animate more easily and ended up deep-diving into blockchain law instead. She firmly believes copyright law should come with a creative mode. More on Wissam here.
Kliment Markov
Kliment is a Bulgarian-qualified lawyer based in Sofia, specializing in protecting and enforcing intellectual property rights, focusing on trademarks. He earned his law degree from Sofia University and began his career at the Sofia-based law firm Kalaidjiev & Georgiev before joining CWB, where he is currently an associate. His background in music continues to inspire his interest in intellectual property law. More on Kliment 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.
