Australians make MIP’s Most Influential

Asia-Pacific IP Influence

Two Australians have recently been identified as Asia-Pacific’s most influential people by the well-known publication: Managing Intellectual Property. The two include:

Dr Francis Gurry as the elected nominee for the position of Director General of WIPO. Dr Gurry, however, will not be formally anointed until the WIPO General Assembly meets in late September this year. The nomination was posted by IPROO earlier this year: http://www.iproo.net/search/label/WIPO

Rhonda Steele as President of the International Trademark Association (INTA) - a not-for-profit membership association dedicated to the support and advancement of trademarks and related intellectual property: http://www.inta.org/

The selections represent an increase in Asia-Pacific IP specialists to make MIP’s top 50 most influential people, amongst other nations such as China and India. See: http://www.managingip.com/Article.aspx?ArticleID=1998865
