"Signs, Commodities and Communication: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Trade Marks". A workshop organised by CIPIL which will be held at Emmanuel College, Monday 4 July 2005.

"Signs, Commodities and Communication: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Trade Marks". This Workshop, the first organised by CIPIL, recognises the enormous importance of trade marks both as economic assets and communicative tools in contemporary society. It brings together individuals, both legal practictioners and academics from a broad range of disciplines, including law, economics, linguistics and marketing. The intention is to establish a dialogue between participants who will bring broadly differing perspectives to their understanding of trade marks. The Workshop is intend to be a first step in establishing a network of scholars who are interested in trade marks in all their variety of meanings and roles. Building on this network, CIPIL intends to organise a major interdisciplinary Conference on trade marks probably in the following year.
