INTA Roundtables were in our agenda: Boca Raton and Coral Gables

Last February 14 and 15, 2019, took place two roundtables in Boca Raton and Coral Gables, United States, organized by International Trademark Association (INTA) with Antequera Parilli & Rodríguez. To this events, were invited the most important firms in the South of Florida to discuss law cases relevant during 2018 in USA.

“In my opinion the interaction between the attorneys present was excellent, from my perspective as a Criminal Investigator – Brand Protection Consultant and Manager, it was very useful. I believe that this type of roundtables should be organized more often”

Mario Loaiza, Consultor/Manager Brand Protection

Cases presentation were in Coral Gables in the hand of Neda Lajevardi, from Lott & Fischer; and Rachel Rudensky from Akerman and Mark Bowen from Malin Haley DiMaggio & Bowen in Boca Raton

“After a long stretch without attending an INTA Roundtable, thanks to Barbarita and Ricardo at the Antequera firm hosting roundtable and Neda Lajevardi for moderating the discussion, the event was as vibrant and insightful as any I can remember. The participants all contributed to a truly valuable experience. I look forward to the next INTA Roundtable.”
