INTA would like to thank the collaborative effort of the editors and authors of Trademark Administration, a robust guide for trademark practitioners that has been instrumental in creating this web series and its course materials.

Note: Although we originally contemplated having a module dedicated to China, in view of the recent changes in the Chinese trademark laws, we are waiting for the legislation to be finalized before addressing trademark prosecution in China.
