About INTA

We’re a global association of brand owners and professionals dedicated to supporting trademarks and complementary intellectual property (IP) to foster consumer trust, economic growth, and innovation, and committed to building a better society through brands.

We speak for brand owners by working to foster effective laws and policies worldwide on trademark and related rights and to harmonize the implementation of those rights.

In a collaborative effort between dedicated volunteers and staff engaged in 19 advocacy committees, we strategically focus on the most pressing issues for brand protection and enforcement.

ADVOCACY

Our events embody the spirit of community. We integrate cutting-edge education and global expertise with unparalleled networking opportunities.

Among the many types of events we hold in various regions, or virtually, our renowned Annual Meeting is the largest—and it’s also the largest gathering of brand owners and IP professionals in the world.

EVENTS

We offer practical, on-the-ground information covering trademark and related areas of law throughout the world.

Our much-used resources include the INTA Practice Guides, reference and training tools, Fact Sheets, and our well-respected peer-reviewed journal, The Trademark Reporter. Our staff collaborate with more than 600 members to develop and update these resources.

Given the proliferation of counterfeiting worldwide, our awareness-raising campaign to educate young consumers about the value of trademarks and brands and the dangers of counterfeit products has been growing in importance and impact.

Our Unreal Campaign Committee and other volunteers are the backbone of this initiative, which reaches students in schools, at youth organizations, and virtually.

With trademarks impacting so many aspects of our daily lives, consumers—whether they realize it or not—can benefit from understanding this IP right and taking a closer look at brands. We provide the basics and explain hot-button issues, such as counterfeiting, in language that resonates with consumers.
