Last week, INTA’s Chief Representative for Asia Pacific, Seth Hays visited Winkler Partners to discuss the association’s plans for strengthening ties with trademark practitioners in Asia.

Among the discussion, Seth shared news of next year’s annual conference, which is being held in Singapore between 25-29 April. He hopes that brands, lawyers and IP professionals from across the region will take advantage of the opportunity to connect with over 10,000 expected attendees including lawyers, brand owners and other trademark professionals.

Seth joined INTA in 2011 and oversaw the opening of the Asia Pacific office in Singapore in 2016. His work involves policy development and advocacy, government affairs, recruiting local brands, and working with members on education and communications.
