The International Trademark Association (ITA) on Thursday appointed Bangladesh Intellectual Property Forum’s Founder Barrister ABM Hamidul Mishbah as a member to the INTA Emerging Issues Committee for the 2020-2021 term.
He is the first Bangladeshi to be appointed in a committee of ITA, according to a press release.
Barrister Mishbah will serve for two years, along with other committee members selected from different countries.
He will propose policy recommendations and advocacy programs to the Board of International Trademark Association.
International Trademark Association is one of the oldest and largest global associations founded in 1878 by trademark owners and professionals dedicated to supporting trademarks and related intellectual property (IP) to foster consumer trust, economic growth, and innovation around the world.
Barrister Hamidul Mishbah, a practicing lawyer at the Supreme Court of Bangladesh and an intellectual property campaigner, has been very instrumental in promoting intellectual property rights and spreading mass awareness about respecting and protecting intellectual property rights within Bangladesh.
According to the statement, his appointment to the International Trademark Association’s Emerging Committee will strengthen Bangladesh’s participation at the global intellectual property diaspora, as well as bring further positive changes within the IPR regime in Bangladesh through execution of various IPR policies and advocacy programs.
