“Deeply grateful to the International Intellectual Property Law Association (IIPLA). Today was an incredible experience, bringing together intellectual property specialists and colleagues from all over the world. Sharing global perspectives and engaging in such high-level networking has been truly outstanding. It was a true honor to participate as a speaker and present my thesis topic: Trademark Protection in E-Commerce and the Notice and Takedown Mechanism. I also had the opportunity to discuss the Andean Community (CAN) and its crucial role in shaping IP frameworks within its member states.”
