HGF Brand & Design Conference 2026
Januar 2026
Join us on 3rd February 2026 for HGF’s Brand & Design Conference, the must attend event for in-house legal teams, brand leaders, creatives, and innovators shaping the future of IP.
This year’s programme goes straight to the heart of the issues redefining brand protection. Hear Michael Edenborough KC on the future of lookalike litigation, gain critical guidance on protecting trade marks in the digital age with experts from DRD Partnership and Harpreet Dhaliwal, and get the inside track on trade secrets, emerging counterfeiting trends, and how intelligent anti-counterfeiting strategies are reshaping enforcement. We will also unpack the increasingly restrictive EUIPO approach to trade mark registrations, and what it means for your portfolio.
Secure your place now and equip your team with the insight to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving landscape.
This event brings together HGF specialists and industry-leading external speakers to provide clarity and practical guidance on the key IP issues currently affecting brand owners and design-led businesses.
