International Trademark Association Awards Chicago-Based Marc Trachtenberg with Its Membership Champion Award

New Orleans, Louisiana—November 12, 2024—The International Trademark Association (INTA) has honored Marc Trachtenberg, Chair of Internet, Domain Name, eCommerce and Social Media Practice at Greenberg Traurig, LLP in Chicago, Illinois, USA, as a recipient of INTA’s 2024 Membership Champion Award.

The INTA Member Champion Award is presented to one or more individuals who, during the year, help grow Association membership, increase Association awareness, and promote member benefits, demonstrating their combined passion for trademark and related intellectual property law and their commitment to INTA through exceptional efforts with such things as introductions to potential members, hosting recruitment events and roundtables, participating in delegations, and sharing their own INTA experience to facilitate knowledge and understanding of the Association.

Mr. Trachtenberg has conveyed a deep understanding and appreciation of the Association’s membership benefits to the extent that he has sponsored the membership and meeting registration fees for several prospective corporate members to ensure they can be part of the INTA community.

He takes the time to mentor and guide these members to ensure that they fully realize and make use of their membership. Mr. Trachtenberg’s generosity is a testament to his dedication to fostering an inclusive community.

“It is a great honor to receive the INTA Membership Champion Award. INTA membership has provided me with numerous benefits including career and speaking opportunities,” said Mr. Trachtenberg. “But the most important benefit is the incredible number of relationships that I have developed over the years through participating in INTA. My participation has provided me with a vast network of business colleagues around the world, and a great number of strong personal relationships.”

“Congratulations to Mr. Trachtenberg. He exemplifies the true values and spirit of a membership champion and serves as an example of how one member can make an impactful difference in growing and supporting our Association and community,” remarked INTA President Dana Northcott.

This year’s INTA awards were presented today during an awards ceremony at the Association’s 2024 Leadership Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. INTA also recognized Jonathan Clegg (Cleveland Scott York, United Kingdom) and Koji Saito (Shobayashi International Patent and Trademark Office, Japan) as Membership Champion Award winners.
