Each year the Learned Professors Trademark Symposium is held at the same time as the annual meeting of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) as a means to further extend INTA’s efforts to attract professor and student members to the organization. To that end, the speakers each year are all academics with a specific focus on IP.
