Public policy makers rely on INTA's expertise on trademark issues and value the Association’s reputation for insightful and reasoned comment. Its broad focus is directed at worldwide trademark policies and practices in both the private and public sectors. As a leading advocate for the interests of trademark owners, INTA works to foster effective trademark laws and policies worldwide and harmonize their implementation.

The Association, often in cooperation with national, regional and international intellectual property organizations, encourages adoption of and adherence to trade agreements and multinational treaties, acknowledging that trademark protection encompasses broad trade concerns. INTA promotes these efforts and carries out its public policy mission through a number of vehicles, including, but not limited to, amicus briefs, advocacy, reports, and model laws and examination guidelines.
