Meet with KIPB at INTA 2026 in London

Steve Denney • 31 March 2026

London calling to the faraway towns…

Masa and I will be heading to
London for the INTA Annual Meeting 2026 from 2–6 May, representing KIPB Japan and looking forward to a good week of catching up and making new connections.

So if you fancy a natter over a cup of tea, coffee — or possibly something a little stronger — please do get in touch. It’s always a pleasure to reconnect, and equally good to make new acquaintances.

If we’ve not met before, KIPB is a Japanese boutique IP firm working with overseas firms on Japanese patents, trade marks, and designs, with a focus on clear, actionable advice and quick communication when things are shifting fast.

I’m originally from the UK and work as an IP consultant for our international clients. Masa heads our trade mark and design practice.

📍 Central London (
Covent Garden / Liverpool Street station)
📅 Flexible during the week

See you in London!
