Franz Stangl and Sandra Vincenza Pilgram attend the MARQUES Annual Conference 2025 in The Hague

Our partner and Attorney at Law Franz Stangl and Attorney-at-Law Sandra Vincenza Pilgram, LL.M., recently attended the MARQUES Annual Conference 2025, held in The Hague, Netherlands.

This year’s conference, themed “Brand changes in an international context,” brought together leading professionals, policymakers, and legal experts from around the world to explore the evolving landscape of intellectual property (IP) and brand protection. With a focus on innovation, global strategy, and adapting to emerging challenges, the program offered a dynamic mix of panel discussions, keynote speeches, and practical sessions.

The event proved to be both insightful and inspiring, offering valuable perspectives on current trends in IP law and branding in a rapidly changing marketplace. Topics included the impact of digital transformation on trademarks, the increasing importance of sustainability in brand strategy, and the future of global IP enforcement.

Beyond the rich professional content, the social program was equally impressive—providing a wonderful opportunity for networking, knowledge exchange, and reconnecting with colleagues from across the globe in a welcoming and historic setting.

We thank MARQUES for organizing such a forward-thinking and well-rounded event. For more information about the conference, visit: https://www.marques.org/events/2025thehague/
