KIPB at INTA 23 in Singapore
Steve Denney • Jun 06, 2023
We were delighted to attend the INTA 23 conference in Singapore, held from May 16-20, 2023. We had the pleasure of meeting with many of our long-time friends and colleagues and the opportunity to make new connections with trademark and IP professionals from around the world.
We want to thank everyone we met and the insights they provided (and the shared anecdotes they reminded us of from previous conferences!)
We would also like to thank the organizers of INTA 23 for putting on such a great event. Masahito and I had a wonderful time in Singapore, and we look forward to attending INTA 24 in 2024 in Atlanta.
Steve.
