THE GLOBAL IP MATRIX MAGAZINE ARTICLE TRACKLIST IS BELOW THIS TEXT.Dear ReadersThe time has come for the most significant IP event of the year for most of us. The International Trademark Association (INTA) makes its way to the Sands Convention Centre in Singapore for an event that promises to be a gathering of industry professionals like no other. We cannot wait to see you all and to share our INTA special edition of The Global IP Matrix magazine.This special conference edition showcases content from some of the industry's leading IP law and innovation practitioners. It is headlined by Keesha Fleming Lake from Complete Intellectual Property Services law firm in Anguilla. Keesha touches on the beneficial link between AI and IP on the island of Anguilla. AI stands for artificial intelligence and is also the country code for Anguilla. On the other hand, ".ai" is a top-level domain (TLD) on the internet that is specific to Anguilla. This use of .ai is unrelated to the geographical location of Anguilla; however, it has become a hub for technology and innovation in recent years. Read the full article inside and immerse yourself in this exciting content. Just across the pond from Anguilla, we welcome a newcomer to The Global IP Matrix magazine, Natalie E. Glitzenhirn-Augustin, Legal Practitioner at Glitz Law in Saint Lucia. Natalie’s article, “EU Resources Boost the Caribbean Intellectual Property Environment”, gives us an insight into the relationship the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) has with the Caribbean region and how it has been actively working to strengthen the intellectual property (IP) rights environment in the Caribbean region, particularly to support local businesses that trade their products across borders.In the Women’s IP World Bitesize segment, our segment sponsor Laura Collada from Dumont in Mexico discusses legal education from the past to the present and how women have navigated the education system, equal rights, challenges, and opportunities for advancement over the years. This is a must-read for history buffs. In our conference corner (segment), Guillaume Henry, Second Deputy Reporter General at AIPPI, shines the spotlight on what to expect at this year's World Congress taking place in Istanbul, Turkey, in October, followed by Carina Gommers, ECTA First Vice-President who also gives us a glimpse of what we should expect at the ECTA 41st Annual conference that is taking place in Prague in June. There is so much more packed into this conference special edition which we hope you enjoy exploring. As always, a special mention and thank you to all our outstanding contributors and our readers for your continued support.  Elvin HassanEditor & Head of International LiaisonsThe Global IP Matrix Magazine Time StampTrademark News & StoriesPage 9. Winzo vs. Google: Warning Against the Download of an App is not Disparagement. Manisha Singh, Partner & Swadheena Joarder, Associate at LexOrbis, India.  17 min 2 secPage 13.The Prospect of Revision Draft of Trademark Law.Ray Zhao, LLM, Senior Partner, Head of the International Trademark Team, Attorney-At-Law & Trademark Attorney at Unitalen Attorneys-At-Law, China.28 min 32 sec Page 17.Similar Trademarks in the Pharmaceutical Industry. Anshul Bharti, Associate Vice President - Client Relationships & Technical Aspects & supported by Saurabh Sharma, Consultant at Ashmar IP, India.41 min 02 sec Page 21. End of lifecycle brands: a bold new approach.Gavin Hyde-Blake, Co-Founder & COO and Spencer Vold-Burgess, Founder & CEO at RedCoin IP, UK.52 min 38 secEmpowering The Future of IP in Anguilla and The Caribbean.

Host:Michele KatzFounder & CEOAdvitam IP, LLC - Chicago, USA Guests:Carina GommersECTA First Vice-President, Partner atWiggin LLP - Belgium  Carina Gommers, the ECTA First Vice-President and Partner at Wiggin LLP, recently sat down with our host Michele Katz, Founding Partner at Advitam IP, LLC, in Chicago, USA, on the Women's IP World Podcast. During her conversation with Michele, she discussed a topic important for all law firms and associations - diversity and inclusion.  Carina highlighted the need for law firms to prioritize diversity and inclusion across all levels of their organizations. She also emphasized the importance of having diverse panels and committees in IP associations. As she discusses in her opening letter for the Women's IP World Annual 2023, achieving diversity and inclusion in the IP world starts with law firms and extends to associations. Embracing diverse perspectives and backgrounds is crucial for boosting creativity and productivity within any industry. As highlighted by Carina, encouraging a progressive mindset that values inclusivity can lead to better problem-solving, innovation and, ultimately, a healthier industry for all. By fostering an environment that celebrates differences and promotes collaboration, businesses can harness the power of diversity to drive growth and success.  Carina's practice covers trademark portfolio management and litigation regarding intellectual property rights, including trademarks and designs. Carina has extensive experience regarding counterfeit customs seizures and regularly advises on advertising and unfair market practices. Since qualifying, she has worked on a number of high-profile cases, representing clients including Solvay, Philips, Supergroup, Pfizer, Procter & Gamble and Wolters Kluwer. Click here to read Carina's Opening Letter. Click here to listen to the article in non-intrusive audio format. Women's IP World website - www.womensipworld.com Advitam IP, LLC website - www.advitamip.com ECTA – www.ecta.org  Wiggin LLP - www.wiggin.co.uk If you would like to be part of The Women's IP World Annual 2024, then please make sure to contact us today at +44 (0)203 813 0457 or email us at info@womensipworld.com #femaleleadership #trademarklaw #womenwhoworkinlaw #celebratingwomen #trademark #patentlitigation #copyrights #trademarks #intellectualpropertylaw #womenininnovation #womenonlypublication #womeninip #womeniniplaw #womenempoweringwomen #womeninleadership #genderequality #diversity #womenleaders #womensipworld #womeninleadership

Dear ReadersCan you believe we are on our fourth edition of the Women's IP World annual? Yes, four years!What started as a project to shine the spotlight on women working in IP, IP Law, and innovation globally has now become so much more. We have had the pleasure of working with some super inspirational women over the last few years, some of whom have personally touched and inspired me with their candid and bare-all content that I have had the pleasure to read and edit.Yes, we are professional women that work in our various roles’ day in and day out. Still, this publication has shown that we have many of the same values and tendencies in our work and personal lives, which has made me, and I am sure many of you, feel part of a community. This has been enhanced with the launch of The Women's IP World Podcast, which we launched a couple of years ago to put a voice to the author.A very good friend to the Women’s IP World, Michele Katz from Advitam IP, LLC, based out of Chicago, USA, must be commended for the stellar job she has done as the host of our podcast that has grown immensely in popularity over the last couple of years. Michele has spoken with our contributors on a more engaging personal level which has been endearing, in some cases, in the build-up to discussing the content published in our magazine.Both platforms mentioned have proven to be very popular in the Global IP Community, so much so that we created a spin-off bitesize segment in our flagship publication, The Global IP Matrix magazine, to keep our female readers up to date with industry developments throughout the year. Many thanks to our sponsor of the segment, Ms Laura Collada from Dumont in Mexico, who has also been an avid supporter and contributor to the Women's IP World since our inception in 2019.We want to thank all the fantastic woman leaders that have contributed to the 2023 annual edition of our magazine and a special mention to you, our readers, as without your eyes and ears, there would be no publications that continue to celebrate the work and achievements of women working in IP Law and innovation.We hope you enjoy this fourth annual edition of The Women's IP World 2023 as much as we have enjoyed putting it together for your reading and listening pleasure.Elvin Hassan –Editor and Head of International Liaisons.WOMEN’S IP WORLD ARTICLE TIMESTAMPEditor’s note01 min 31 secContents page04 min 59 secECTA opening letter12 min 49 secLexOrbis Co-Sponsor opening letter22 min 50 secPatWorld Co-Sponsor opening letter28 min 22 secNorth, Central America & The Caribbean Advitam – Michel S.

Host:Michele KatzFounder & CEOAdvitam IP, LLC - Chicago, USA Guests:Laura Collada Managing PartnerDumont - Mexico In this latest episode of the Women's IP World podcast, your host, Michele Katz, catches up with Laura Collada about the lasting effects of the Covid 19 pandemic and how Dumont has implemented new measures to support their employees. They also discuss Laura's highly topical article published in the Women's IP World Annual title 'The Metaverse, NFTs; IP in the Virtual World'.  Laura talks with Michele explaining further what the metaverse is, why it is a rapidly growing area and why trademark attorneys must be aware and keep up with the virtual world's ever-evolving trends and regulations.  With more than 30 years of experience in the IP field and as the Managing Partner of the firm since 2008, Laura is a dedicated strategist and has acted on several milestone cases. Laura leads most of the firm's large and complex cases. Furthermore, Laura has a high profile, both locally and internationally. She is regularly invited to speak for MARQUES, UIA, ASIPI, FICPI, ABPI, and INTA and is a renowned teacher at several Law Schools. Laura is one of the only two women in Mexico who is the Managing Partner of an IP law firm and a three-time recipient of the Best IP Lawyers in Latin America Award of Euromoney's Americas Women in Business Law. She has written about IP for national newspapers and international IP magazines: Women's IP World Magazine 2019-2020 – Why is everybody talking about Cultural misappropriation? Expert Guides Women in Business Law 2019 - Cultural misappropriation, where Mexico stands. Laura advocates for women's equality by seeking out female candidates and offering top positions to female lawyers. She is involved in several associations (AIPLA, UIA), creating awareness by speaking out about "glass-ceiling" issues at events, including the AIPLA Women in IP event that took place at Dumont's office in Mexico City three years in a row (2016, 2017 and 2018). As one of the two only female Managing Partners of an IP firm in Mexico, Ms. Collada acts as an icon to women who wish to advance their careers in this field. The women working at Dumont often choose to stay long-term to improve their knowledge and expertise here since they are met with far less bias than is often found at other firms in Mexico. This has made Dumont known as a firm in which women are empowered, acknowledged, and groomed as lawyers. Click here to read Laura's full article. Click here to listen to the article in non-intrusive audio format. Women's IP World website - www.womensipworld.com Advitam IP, LLC website - www.advitamip.com Dumont – www.dumont.mx  We have started the candidate research process for The Women's IP World Annual 2023.
