European Intellectual Property Seminar 2011
October 4 to 7, 2011
We are pleased to invite you to our traditional in-house seminar presented by Kuhnen & Wacker, now in its 21st year, after having presented similar Seminars on European IP at George Washington University and George Mason University in the Washington, D.C. area, in Tokyo, Nagoya, Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen as well as at John Marshall Law School, Chicago, and the University of Washington, Seatde, in the past years.
The seminar will provide a comprehensive introduction into European IP laws and practice. Moreover, in view of the ongoing economic uncertainty the aspect of cost reduction will also be covered.
The courses will be held from Tuesday, October 4 through Friday, October 7, 2011. Furthermore, we invite all attendees to join us for an optional visit to the Oktoberfest on Monday, October 3, 2011.
We are also pleased to inform you that this year's seminar will be combined with the Inauguration of our new additional Office Building and with the Celebration of the 35 th Anniversary of Kuhnen & Wacker. Of course, all seminar attendees are cordially invited to this ceremony on Saturday, October 8, 2011 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
All courses will be held in English. The speakers will include Rainer A. Kuhnen, Rainer K. Kuhnen, Michael Topf, Michael Zeitler, Christian Thomas, Detlef von Ahsen and James A. Forstner of our firm, as well as additional external guest speakers, i.e. Alexander Gardiner (Directorate 2.2.21, Cluster Computers, EPO), Jens Gaster (Principal Administrator Industrial Property Unit, European Commission), Nadine Zellner (Central Industrial Property Bureau of the Federal Customs Administration) and Martin Schlötelburg (Operations Department - Service Designs OHIM). Please refer to the brochure (PDF) for further information and a complete overview of the topics that will be presented.
The seminar will be limited to 40 participants. The registration fee for this seminar is EUR 900.00, including textbooks, attendance of all courses and social activities. It is also possible to only attend parts of the Seminar — in this case the price for one day is EUR 500, EUR 700 for two days, and EUR 800 for three days. Hotel costs are not included.
NOTE: Accommodation can be arranged through our firm. We provisionally reserved a number of rooms for seminar attendees, however, this provisional reservation can only be guaranteed until August 20, 2011. After this date, we cannot guarantee that the desired category of hotel rooms will still be available. In fact, in view of the Oktoberfest and major industry fairs, no rooms may be available at all in the area without timely reservation. An early registration is therefore highly recommendable.
To register, please use the registration form which is enclosed as well, or visit our "Seminar" section site at www.kuhnen-wacker.com.
