Environmental protection\, social justice\, and ethical management are increasingly meaningful to consumers\, particularly millennials and the ZGeneration. This has led to a growing global trend towards advertising based on ESG issues\, and as a result to regulators taking a closer interest in ESG-related claims\, and to brand damage from allegations of “green washing”\, gender or other stereotyping\, cultural appropriation\, …\n\nJoin us for a discussion on the trends within ESG advertising in Europe and the United States. We will explain what ESG Advertising is and what it is not\, will compare and discuss similarities\, differences\, and challenges on both sides of the Atlantic and will look into the looking-glass in terms of upcoming legislation and trends.\n\nTopics to be addressed\n\n What is ESG Advertising?\n Is there a regulatory framework at EU level? What about the UK?\n What is the legal landscape in the United States?\n What are the do’s and don’ts that you need to keep in mind?\n What are the latest trends?

However\, the ongoing global pandemic and the past limitations on international business travel and employee transfers\, have exacerbated an already complex immigration situation and will most likely continue impacting global organizations.\n\nIn fact\, in a survey conducted in September by the EACC Network\, nearly 90% of respondents said the travel restrictions alone impacted their company/organization/operations\, with 74% answering that the impact had been ‘significant’ or ‘noticeable’.\n\nJoin us in person on November 30th for a discussion on immigration\, the new international travel rules and what long-term effects the border closures\, immigration back-logs and on-going Pandemic are having on labor shortages and talent retention for companies here in the United States.\n\n**COVID protocols will be observed**\n\n \n\nTOPICS FOR DISCUSSION\n\nUpdate on international travel rules\n\n What was the impact of the US travel bans for the airline industry and international travel?\n What are the new rules and what is their impact a few weeks into their implementation?\n What can be expected with regard to international travel in the next few months and longer term?\n\nImmigration update\n\n How does the lifting of the country-specific travel restrictions in favor of a global vaccination requirement impact business travel?\n What is the residual impact\, if any\, have these changes had on Consular and Visa services and employees needing nonimmigrant visas? What about with USCIS?\n What does this all mean for Employers? Is a National Interest Exception (NIE) still required?  How does it affect short term business travel and international transfer of employees?\n\nSPEAKERS\n\n Scott Bettridge – Immigration Practice Chair at Cozen O’Connor’s Office in Miami.\n Peter Cerda – Regional Vice President for the Americas\, International Air Transport Association (IATA)\n\nSPEAKER BIOGRAPHIES\n\nScott Bettridge\n\nScott Bettridge chairs Cozen O’Connor’s Immigration Practice and represents both corporate and individual clients in all aspects related to U.S. immigration law.

DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n\n\nThere is a lot of momentum behind the recovery and we should see some solid growth numbers for the EU economies over the remainder of the year and into 2022. High vaccination rates and cautious public health policies are now paying growth dividends across the EU. With that said\, the pace of the recovery is moderating as supply shortages and logistical bottlenecks weigh on output. Inventories are very low and many manufacturers simply can’t get the supplies they need. On the labor market side\, it has been challenging to fill open positions due to skills mismatches.\n\nIn other words\, short-term demand policy seems to have worked well both in Europe and the US. Savings rates are high and investment is growing. But Covid-related supply constraints are holding back growth and look set to last longer than expected. Policy makers on both sides of the Atlantic now need to focus on the medium- to long-term. In this vein\, the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Facility [RRF] will finance a lot of new investment in green and digital technologies that will boost growth and productivity further while ‘future-proofing’ the economic structure by linking RRF funds to structural reform. RRF roll-out has already started and policy makers as well as the private sector are optimistic\, especially about the speed of the green and digital transitions.\n\nThe EU Commission still expects supply shortages to be temporary\, but in the meantime\, they are feeding into higher headline inflation\, and there is uncertainty over how to effectively address these bottlenecks in the short term. Rising energy prices are also causing a headache for policy makers in Europe\, where many countries depend on imported gas. This raises important strategic questions\, including whether green investments will smooth out or aggravate tensions in the energy market.\n\nJoin us for an in-depth analysis of the European economy and the newly released autumn 2021 Economic Forecast. Our panel will discuss the recent economic data and public policy developments through mid-October and weighs the prospects for European and global growth against a range of potential risks.\n\nSPEAKERS:\n● Balazs Parkanyi\, Counsellor for Economic and Financial Affairs\, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES\n● Ben Carliner\, Senior Economist\, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES\n● Yvonne Bendinger-Rothschild\, Executive Director\, EACCNY [Moderator]\n\nTIME:\nWednesday\, November 17th\, 2021\n1:00 PM – 2:00 PM EDT / 19:00 h – 20:00 h CET\n\nREGISTRATION FEE:\nEACC Members: Free\nEACC Friends: Free\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\nThis webinar is funded by the European Union.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://eaccfl.com/2event/webinar-quarterly-eu-economic-update-a-rocky-road-to-recovery-can-the-recovery-resilience-fund-be-the-game-changer-the-eu-economy-needs/ LOCATION:Your Computer or Connected Device CATEGORIES:events,Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20211111T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20211111T113000 DTSTAMP:20260605T171856 CREATED:20210923T211622Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210923T211858Z UID:34271-1636623000-1636630200@eaccfl.com SUMMARY:WEBINAR - Business Leaders' Special Event: COP26 & the climate economy DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Hosted by RSM.\n\nJoin our team and a panel of experts as we explore the output from COP26 and turn our attention to what the future of climate change means for businesses.\n\nBusiness leaders constantly deal with challenges on both a micro and macro scale.

The end of her chancellorship and with that new leadership in Berlin\, injects a degree of uncertainty on both sides of the Atlantic about the general course and the new champions who may fill the gap her departure will create.\n\nThe 2008 financial crisis\, Brexit\, the pandemic and the rise of authoritarian regimes have challenged the values of the European Union. After a turbulent 2020 election cycle\, the US is nearly one year into a new administration that is managing both domestic and international crises.\n\nOur Panel will discuss how the upcoming change in German leadership may affect not only the power dynamic within Europe but also more broadly\, how next German Chancellor and new elections elsewhere across Europe\, may change the transatlantic relationship.\n\nWe will explore if the change at the top will offer a breath of fresh air not only for Germany\, but also for Europe and the Transatlantic collaboration and if a new coalition will be able to rally Europe to step up and become a more active business & political partner to the United States.\n\nSPEAKERS:\n• Daniel Benjamin\, President\, AMERICAN ACADEMY in Berlin & former Coordinator for Counter-terrorism at the United States Department of State (moderator)\n• Peter Fischer-Bollin\, Head of Department Analysis and Consulting\, KONRAD ADENAUER SIFTUNG\n• Anthony L.

DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Brought to you by EACC Netherlands.\n\nThe effects of the Covid restrictions on the supply chain can’t be missed and will hopefully be temporary. The consequences of climate change are presumed to be broader and more lasting.\n\nMore than 50% of the top 10 risks listed in The Global Risk Report of the World Economic Forum are climate related. This program will focus on the foreseeable and unforeseeable climate-related challenges for transatlantic economies and their businesses. Hence\, business leaders have a responsibility to integrate the impact of climate change in their company’s risk assessment and strategy.\n\nTherefore\, the program will be streamlined along the following questions:\n\n What do we see happening?\n What is it impacting?\n How to prepare/prevent and which measures do other companies already undertake?\n\nFor whom is this webinar?\n\nThis program is organized for Supervisory and (Non-)Executive Board Members of international companies active in transatlantic business and invited professionals of the EACC network.\n\nFormat:\nThe webinar is split in 2 sessions of 45 min. each:\n\n Part 1-2: Fireside chat with keynote speakers for all registrees.\n4.00pm – 4.45pm CET | 10.00am – 10.45am ET\n Part 2-2: Expert conversation between Supervisory and (Non-)Executive Board Members and keynotes\, for exchanging opinions and experience.\n4.45pm – 5.30pm CET | 10.45am – 11.30am ET\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n Louise van Schaik\, Head of Unit EU & Global Affairs\, Clingendael Institute.\n Roderick de la Houssaye\, Chair\, Fenex\n Jacques Buith\, Global lead partner for the United States\, Deloitte and EU Green Deal Advisor.

But how companies address ESG is becoming less prescriptive and requires more tailoring of the risks and opportunities respective of their business strategy and embedded into their culture of compliance in order to ensure a sustainable approach.\n\nUnderstanding and applying ESG standards and regulations – The universe of ESG standards is wide and often confusing while country-specific regulations are rolling out at a quick clip. We discuss approaches for understanding which ESG standards may be most relevant to your business and current and emerging regulations to address now. We will also discuss ratings and how to align with standards reporting.\n\nDeveloping ESG metrics and goals for now and for a sustainable future – Prevailing market sentiment has been and still continues to focus on using metrics for measuring ESG performance\, primarily for climate and carbon goals. However\, without properly tying metrics back to strategic initiatives and understanding the explicit financial impact\, the measures can prove to be meaningless for sustainability and building a more resilient organization. We will further explore operational opportunities for implementing ESG initiatives in procurement\, supply chain\, and as part of asset management.\n\nESG Pitfalls: Understanding disclosure\, green-washing\, and dispute risks\n• What regulations require non-financial and financial disclosures and where?\n• What is green-washing and how can companies mitigate the risk?\n• How to know about risks and avoid litigation pertaining to ESG disclosures and operations?\n\nSPEAKERS:\n• Anna Athanasopoulou\, Head of Unit Proximity\, Social Economy\, Creative Industries\, DG Internal Market\, Industry\, Entrepreneurship and SMEs\, EUROPEAN COMMISSION\n• Brooke Hopkins\, Managing Director\, ALIXPARTNERS LLP (Moderator)\n• Maureen Kline\, VP Public Affairs & Sustainability\, PIRELLI TIRE NORTH AMERICA\n• Fabio Massimo Natalucci\, Deputy Director\, INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND\n• Annette Michelle (Shelli) Willis\, Partner\, TROUTMAN PEPPER\, LLP\n\nTIME:\n10:00 AM – 11:00 AM EDT / 16:00 h – 17:00 h CET\n\nREGISTRATION FEE:\nEACC Members: Free\nEACC non-Members: Free\n\nREGISTER HERE[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://eaccfl.com/2event/webinar-responsible-capitalism-the-esg-integration-balancing-act/ LOCATION:Your Computer or Connected Device CATEGORIES:events,Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210922T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210922T120000 DTSTAMP:20260605T171856 CREATED:20210707T183026Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210708T133347Z UID:34142-1632308400-1632312000@eaccfl.com SUMMARY:WEBINAR - Patentability of AI Driven Inventions: The Push for Legislature to Play Catch up DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Program Brought to you by EACCNY.\n\nArtificial intelligence (AI) is being used more and more to develop new inventions without human aid.

DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Brought to you by EACC Florida\n\nExpanding operations into new territories around the world has traditionally offered important commercial opportunities for both for multinational corporations and SMEs. Whereas the trend toward globalization was well underway\, the COVID-19 pandemic marked an abrupt halt\, leading to a global recession\, a severe disruption of global trade and a sharp decrease in foreign direct investments.\n\nSome countries are still managing the crisis. Others are slowly emerging from it with governments mostly focusing on supporting their domestic economies. Companies around the world however are looking at what commercial opportunities are available to them in other territories and considering how the sanitary crisis and its consequences is impacting plans to expand.\n\nLooking at Europe and the United States\, with a focus on financial transactions\, accounting\, taxation and human resources\, the panel will discuss the push towards more responsible governance\, how the tendency toward international alignment and cooperation between jurisdictions is being challenged by an increase in local\, sometimes idiosyncratic\, administrative and regulatory complexities and why these trends provide both challenges and opportunities for businesses considering expanding operations to other territories.\n\nTOPICS FOR DISCUSSION\n\nTrends toward more responsible Governance. When planning to expand\, companies need to consider the following:\n\n A shift away from traditional offshoring impacting the choice of new locations;\n Increased protection of employees as businesses are encouraged to be responsible employers;\n An increase in mandated use of third parties;\n Compliance requirements as part of market entry strategy with stricter penalties for non-compliance being implemented especially in more complex jurisdictions;\n Personal consequences for non-compliance on directors.\n\nTrends in international vs. local regulatory and administrative complexity. Issues include:\n\n\n Meeting global obligations with the trend toward standardization via regulations such as CRS\, UBO and FATCA;\n Managing international reporting requirements vs. local ones such as the OECD’s Common Reporting Standard (CRS);\n Navigating the complexities of local/regional jurisdictions opening up to international business while simultaneously enacting rules potentially impacting investments such as the European Commission’s Proposal for Regulating Foreign Subsidies Control;\n Understanding the domination of local legislation in some business areas such as accounting and incorporations;\n Managing the international and local complexities of assembling a workforce.\n\nSPEAKERS\n\n Juan Botin\, Project Director – Grupo Santander (Madrid)\n Jan Willem van Drimmelen\, Chief Commercial Officer & Head of North America – TMF Group (Amsterdam)\n Edoardo Gambaro\, Partner – Greenberg Traurig (Milano)\n Tyler Lavin\, VP\, Development and Investment – North America at citizenM hotels (New York)\n Mike Morroni\, Head of Global Client Directors and North America Head of Business Development – TMF Group (Miami) [Moderator]\n\nSPEAKER BIOGRAPHIES\n\n\nJuan Botín\n\nJuan´s whole career has been linked to the International sphere.

Since then\, there have been counter-complaints and negotiations and appeals. Meanwhile\, a global pandemic has walloped the aerospace industry\, and China is making a serious run at getting into the civilian airliner market.\n\nIn March 2021 the new U.S. Administration reached agreements with the UK and the EU to “pause” tariffs in the dispute for an initial period of four months to give negotiators time to see if a settlement can be reached. Three months into the pause\, what progress has been made (if any)? Is there a settlement to be had\, and if so\, what might it look like? And if not\, what would a return to tariffs mean for the aerospace industry specifically and for transatlantic (and global) trade in general?\n\nOur expert panelists – from both sides of the Atlantic — will review the state of play offer perspectives on the way forward. Our attorneys will review the history of the dispute and summarize the specific complaints as well as update us on the status of the talks\, while our manufacturers will review how the issue has impacted their firms in the past as well as consider how a resolution (or non-resolution) might affect future operational and investment decisions.\n\nSPEAKERS\n\n Jan de Beer\, Office Member-in-Charge\, Frost Brown Todd LLC\n Philippe Garnier\, CEO and General Manager – SAFRAN Landing Systems\n Andrew Tetley\, Partner – Reed Smith LLP\n\nREGISTER HERE[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://eaccfl.com/2event/webinar-is-the-end-in-sight-17-years-of-the-airbus-boeing-dispute/ LOCATION:Your Computer or Connected Device CATEGORIES:events,Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210616T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210616T120000 DTSTAMP:20260605T171856 CREATED:20210601T203540Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210601T203540Z UID:34011-1623841200-1623844800@eaccfl.com SUMMARY:WEBINAR - The Power Of Transatlantic Cooperation: How EU & US Innovators Joined Forces In The Fight Against The Pandemic DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Brought to you by EACCNY\n\nThe pandemic has highlighted the importance of private sector and public private partnerships in developing vaccines\, therapeutics and other medical products in response to COVID-19 and various European and American companies are jointly contributing to the solution.

Nearly a year later\, with the pandemic still a key component in our lives\, steps taken as a quick call to stabilize operations\, have become routine. COVID-19 has both accelerated the evolution of the remote workforce and forced a change in business model for many companies. While employees may enjoy the flexibility that this allows\, employers must grapple with compliance costs and administrative burdens\, reevaluate transfer pricing policies and update organizational policies to prevent unintended tax and other consequences on a federal\, state and international level.\n\nPlease join us for a discussion on the challenges that come with a remote workforce and the need to reevaluate the steps taken around staff assignments\, planning and other key issues as businesses focus on their new operating models.\n\nOur panelists will discuss:\nThe role of residency in tax law in light of limited or enhanced mobility.\n● What legal issues come into play including Permanent Establishments? How to identify or prevent business related concerns associated with compliance and and transfer pricing issues?\n● Double Taxation Treaties – Treaty Shopping\, Treaty Benefits and new developments on inter-country tax treaties (e.g. Luxembourg\, Belgium\, Germany\, The Netherlands) taxation and Social Security\n● HR Policies and best practices that need to be established to steer\, monitor and enforce the residency policy.\n\nSPEAKERS:\n● David Springsteen\, Global Tax Service Leader\, CLA\n● Jan Bart Schober\, Tax Partner\, Employment & Benefits\, LOYENS & LOEFF\n● Sam Humphris\, Head of International Tax Policy\, AIG\n● Sascha Leske\, Partner\, NOERR [Moderator]\n\nREGISTER HERE\nProgram brought to you by EACCNY \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://eaccfl.com/2event/webinar-the-effects-of-a-wandering-workforce-on-taxation-of-corporations-and-their-employees/ LOCATION:Your Computer or Connected Device CATEGORIES:events,Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210601T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210601T130000 DTSTAMP:20260605T171856 CREATED:20210512T143936Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210512T143936Z UID:33969-1622541600-1622552400@eaccfl.com SUMMARY:WEBINAR - A Review of Trade & Economic Relations 6 Months into 2021\, a new U.S. Administration & Brexit DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Brought to you by EACCNY\n\nWhere is Europe’s economy headed?

The Anti-Money Laundering Act is one of the most significant reforms since the USA Patriot Act of 2001 almost 20 years ago. The European Commission published an action plan in May 2020 to strengthen its Anti-Money Laundering legal framework around six key pillars. The Commission just released a new legislative proposal [to be confirmed on 12 May]. Both reforms will significantly change the shape of AML/CFT on both sides of the Atlantic.\n\nTopics to be addressed: \n\nUS Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020:\n●  Newly created beneficial ownership registry for shell companies\n●  Newly enhanced AML whistleblower program\n●  Extension of U.S. subpoena power over foreign banks\n●  Newly created crimes\, collateral punishments\, and increased penalties for AML violations\n●  Application of AML regulations to virtual currency and to the antiquities market\n\nReform of the EU’s Anti-Money Laundering Framework:\n●  The EU approach on Beneficial Ownership\n●  A single EU rulebook\n●  EU-level supervision\n●  A stronger EU in the world\n\nUS-EU: potential for cooperation to strengthen AML/CFT at a global level?\n\nWho should attend:\nEmployees\, directors\, and lawyers who represent U.S. and non-U.S. financial institutions should attend this panel discussion\, as the new legislation affects financial institutions doing business in the United States\, as well as foreign financial institutions that use correspondence accounts located in the United States.  In addition\, those involved in establishing or using offshore shell companies to access the U.S. financial system should be aware of the Act’s plan to bring those companies into the reach of U.S. anti-money laundering laws.\n\nNOTE: This program will not be recorded.

DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Brought to you by EACCNY\n\nDespite a rocky start\, the vaccine rollout is now accelerating and Europe can look forward to a progressive return to normalcy in the coming months. With consumer optimism on the rise and firms investing in the re-opening\, the stage is set for a sharp acceleration of economic activity in the second half of 2021.\n\nThe stronger than expected global recovery and a spur of public investment in green and digital technologies should sustain the recovery over the medium term\, while a commitment to long-delayed structural reforms could potentially lift productivity after a period of stagnant growth.

The European industrial strategy to be launched in the Spring of 2021 aims to ensure that European industry can lead the way as we enter this new age.\n\nThe strategy consists of three drivers to transform our industry\, support our small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and keep Europe sustainable and competitive:\n●  Green transition\, supported by the European Green Deal\n●  Digital transition\, supported by the EU’s Digital Strategy\n●  Competitiveness on the global stage\, where Europe will leverage the influence of its Single Market to set global standards\n\nWith this unique initiative Europe is addressing the twin transition into a green and digital future\, the updated industrial strategy will include reflections on strategic dependencies of the European economy. A process similar to supply chain review started under the Biden Administration. This discussion will outline the multitude of issues that merit a transatlantic discussion and outline specific areas ripe for a closer cooperation.\n\nThe strategy also aims to unleash the potential of SMEs\, which are essential to Europe’s competitiveness and prosperity. SME’s will be supported by:\n●  encouraging innovation through new funding and digital innovation hubs as part of the sustainable and digital transitions\n●  cutting red tape by reducing barriers within the Single Market and opening up access to finance\n●  allowing better access to finance by setting up an SME Initial Public Offering Fund (with investments channeled through a new private-public fund) and the ESCALAR initiative (a mechanism to boost the size of venture capital funds and attract more private investment)\n\nOn all three fronts there will be opportunities for US and European investors to get involved.\n\nSPEAKERS:\n● Kerstin Jorna\, Director-General of the Directorate-General for Internal Market\, Industry\, Entrepreneurship and SMEs\n● Duncan Caird\, Managing Director\, Head Infrastructure\, Energy & Export Finance\, HSBC – TBC\n● Additional panelists TBA\n\nTIME:\n10:00am EDT / 16:00 CET\n\nREGISTRATION FEE:\nEACCFL Members: Free\nEACCFL non-Members: Free\n\nREGISTER HERE\nProgram brought to you by EACCNY \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://eaccfl.com/2event/the-eus-industrial-strategy-and-how-u-s-investors-can-get-involved/ LOCATION:Your Computer or Connected Device CATEGORIES:events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210509T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210509T130000 DTSTAMP:20260605T171856 CREATED:20210420T220849Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210423T140151Z UID:33885-1620558000-1620565200@eaccfl.com SUMMARY:IN PERSON - Europe Day Celebration on The Deck DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nBY INVITATION ONLY\n\n\nTo Celebrate Europe Day in Florida\, the Consulate General of France in Miami and the Consulate General of Germany in Miami are hosting a Musical Brunch on the Deck in partnership with the European American Chamber of Commerce – Florida.\n\nThe event will be held on Sunday\, May 9th 2021 from 11.00 am to 1.00 pm.\n\nThe number of guests will be restricted and COVID 19 protocol will be fully respected (mask & social distancing).\n\n \n\nPlease contact Christina Sleszynska at csleszynska@eaccfl.com for information.\n\n \n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://eaccfl.com/2event/in-person-europe-day-celebration-on-the-deck/ CATEGORIES:events,In-Person Event ORGANIZER;CN="EACC Florida":MAILTO:csleszynska@eaccfl.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210505T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210505T110000 DTSTAMP:20260605T171856 CREATED:20210422T163045Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210423T135224Z UID:33890-1620208800-1620212400@eaccfl.com SUMMARY:WEBINAR - COVID-19\, A Hard Look Back & A Look Ahead: Lessons learned and what needs to change to be more resilient for the next pandemic DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]From an Economic & Government standpoint: which measures have worked to address the COVID-19 Pandemic and which ones did not and why?

It has the potential to significantly impact trademark prosecution and registration in the U.S.\, particularly for foreign applicants/registrants who obtained a U.S. registration without having to establish use prior to registration.\n\nThis panel offers a unique opportunity to learn about the TMA from a variety of perspectives (USPTO and inside and outside counsel) and also to provide your comments and feedback to the USPTO on issues relating to its implementation.\n\nDiscussion points:\n\n What are the policy goals of the TMA and how will it impact trademark prosecution and enforcement in the U.S.? \n How will the new ex parte cancellation proceedings (both of which are aimed at removing unused marks from the register) impact foreign applicants/registrants? \n How does the TMA interact with other changes implemented by the USPTO to address concerns of fraud/non-use? \n What are the special considerations for foreign applicants/registrants seeking to register/maintain U.S. marks based upon foreign registrations (where proof of use is not initially required)\n What other considerations should foreign applicants/registrants keep in mind in order to prepare for the implementation of the TMA?\n\nSpeakers\n\n Amy Cotton\, Deputy Commissioner for Trademark Examination Policy at the USPTO\n Stephanie Espada\, In-house associate counsel at Lincare\n Laura Pitts\, Counsel at Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC\n\nTo Register\, please contact Christina Sleszynska at csleszynska@eaccfl.com\nThis program is brought to you by EACC Paris \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://eaccfl.com/2event/the-u-s-trademark-modernization-act-what-foreign-companies-need-to-know/ LOCATION:Your Computer or Connected Device CATEGORIES:events END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
