As a not-for-profit association, INTA’s role is to serve its members and society as a trusted and influential advocate. This year, more than 3,400 member volunteers applied to serve on INTA committees.
“Working for INTA is enriching and rewarding. You learn a lot from encounters with professionals from all over the world who share INTA’s focus on advocating the economic and social value of trademarks,” says Åsa Righard, who will be serving on the 2018–2019 Emerging Issues Committee.
The International Trademark Association (INTA) is a global association of brand owners and professionals dedicated to supporting trademarks and related intellectual property (IP) to foster consumer trust, economic growth, and innovation. The Emerging Issues Committee that Åsa Righard will join identifies and advocates the Association’s policy regarding important trends and emerging issues related to trademarks and not covered by other issue committees. The committee will propose policy recommendations to the Board.
Åsa has many years of experience in intellectual property law with an emphasis on trademark practice. She specialises in Swedish, European, and international trademark prosecution and counseling as well as in trademark and copyright infringement, domain name disputes, licensing issues, branding, and name creation strategies and she is a registered European Trademark and Design Attorney and a registered Australian Trademark Attorney.
“I will contribute with my knowledge and experience and be involved in report and submission writing, and advocacy in conjunction with relevant INTA committees and staff. INTA is an international network that benefits our clients.”
