Sun, smiles, and the San Diego crew at last year's International Trademark Association (INTA)'s Annual Meeting ☀️

A snapshot of the Madderns team in its element, together, in person, and exactly where we do our best work.

This year, that same squad will be making its way to London.

A new backdrop, the same energy…and while we can’t promise the sunshine, we can promise genuine catch ups, great conversations, strong coffee (or tea), a few pints, and all things IP, plus a new pose to try and top this one.

For us, the INTA Annual Meeting is about showing up, reconnecting, strengthening relationships, and meeting new people who make this global community what it is.

London, we’re ready.

If you’ll be there too, we’d be delighted to see you.
