Verena von Bomhard, Giles Corbally and Johannes Fuhrmann have been appointed to International Trademark Association (INTA) committees for the 2016-2017 term.

Verena von Bomhard, Partner, will chair the Trademark Office Practices Committee, coordinating the work of eleven regional Sub-Committees.

In 2014, she received the Volunteer Service Award for the Advancement of Trademark Law from INTA.

Giles Corbally, Partner, will be chair of the European National Trademark Office Practices SubCommittee. This Sub-Committee monitors the practices of trademark offices in Europe (both EU and beyond) and informs the membership of the association of significant developments.

Johannes Fuhrmann, Associate, will serve on the Non-Traditional Marks Committee, which develops and advocates the Association’s policy regarding the balanced protection of non-traditional trademarks (e.g., sound, color, trade dress).
