HISTORY
In 1878, 17 merchants and manufacturers who saw a need for an organization “to protect and promote the rights of trademark owners, to secure useful legislation and to give aid and encouragement to all efforts for the advancement and observance of trademark rights ”founded the United States Trademark Association. In 1993, the Association changed its name to the International Trademark Association in recognition of the global scope of its membership and activities. After 127 years, INTA continues to represent the trademark community, shape public policy and advance professional knowledge and development.
