IP Mirror recently participated in the International Trademark Association (INTA) 131st Annual Meeting held in Seattle, Washington, May 16 – 20.

The INTA 2009 meeting brought together 5000 delegates and participants from more than 130 countries and witnessed educational programs, strategies and analytical sessions including skill-building workshops, industry breakouts and trademark law studies.
