Mission & Interests

Goals: The Association has always concentrated on those issues where the interests of all members coincide and has refrained from taking a position on matters in which there is no common viewpoint. The extensive work carried out by the Association so far, following the above guidelines, combined with the high degree of professionalism and recognised technical capabilities of its members, has established ECTA at the highest level and has allowed the Association to achieve the status of a recognised expert spokesman on all questions related to the protection and use of trade marks, designs, geographical indications, copyright, domain names and related matters in and throughout the European Union, and for example, in the following areas: Harmonisation of the national laws of the EU member countries; European Union Trade Mark Regulation and Directive; Community Design Regulation and Directive; Organisation and practice of the EUIPO.

Info Members: ECTA's work is carried out through its Committees, Supervisory Board, Board of Directors and its employees based in Brussels. The number of persons involved from our organisation depends on the specific field, being the Supervisory Board and Board of Directors always involved in the process of delivering ECTA's position papers. Therefore, ECTA is unable to accurately answer this question.
