The intellectual property rights environment
in Europe is very sophisticated.
I have a lot of experience working on
intellectual property rights as well as
working as an attorney as well as working as
an intellectual property rights negotiator.
We engage with the EU institutions to provide
input into their policymaking, to try and
ensure that the rules are comparable
or consistent with those in the
United States to facilitate business
activities across the trans Atlantic.
An IP attache constantly has to take
initiative to look for opportunities,
foster relationships to build relationships
with their counterparts across the regional
area for which they are responsible.
All those who own intellectual property
benefit from the work of IP attaches.
