Join us to explore the tension between IP and politics using real-world cases, from the Obama Hope poster to Trump and IKEA v Vlaams Belang, and learn how to navigate IP conflicts, clear IP for use in campaigns, and protect and enforce your valuable assets before major announcements.

With additional insights from Elena Galletti, Head of Trademark Services at Questel, on online brand protection best practices, you will gain actionable strategies on monitoring and enforcing your IP rights against unauthorised third-party use, as well as avoiding potentially costly legal missteps.
