Networking Sessions

Feeling the need in the industry for more clarification on how to get the most of the existing European IP systems, and further questions arising on future EU regulations, we are introducing in 2008 the networking sessions as a legitimate part of the IP Summit programme.

Each afternoon during the two days of the event, an entire stream will be dedicated to questions and answers from the audience to various European Commission representative experts from the seven directorates currently the most concerned by IP matters:

• ENTR: Enterprise and Industry
• JLS: Justice, Freedom and Security
• JRC: Joint Research Centre
• MARKT: Internal Market and services
• OHIM: Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market
• RTD: Research
• TAXUD: Taxation and Customs Union
• TRADE: Trade

During one hour devoted to chosen topics, you will be able to meet the experts of your choice and ask them what are the solutions to your specific issue, or what is under way in the EU agenda.

The full list of experts from the European Commission will be disclosed here during the summer 2008. Please come back for more information.

If you are an European Commission expert in IP matters and willing to participate in these sessions, please contact:
