Smart phones are everywhere, on the streets, in
restaurants, in backyards, at airports, in offices, and in homes.
With the growing popularity of smart phones, comes the growing
popularity of mobile applications which run on smart phones. How to
address the challenges of intellectual property ("IP") in
the mobile world; was one of the topics discussed during the recent
International Trademark Association ("INTA") annual
meeting held in San Diego, United States.
INTA is a professional association of international
trademark practitioners. The annual meetings are attended by
thousands of IP practitioners from countries all over the world.
Topics of pressing concerns to these professionals and the
companies they represent are discussed at annual meetings. The
growing popularity of online and mobile technologies and the
challenges created by such popularity attracted attention at this
year's INTA annual meeting.
