Today we celebrate the launch of CITMA, the Chartered Institute of Trade Mark Attorneys. Originally founded in the 1930’s as ITMA, CITMA represents professionals who specialise in trade mark and design law and practice in the UK. With over 1500 members CITMA provides education, support and promotion to those in the profession. Today the organisation has officially become CITMA following the unveiling of its Royal Charter. ITMA was awarded the honour by The Queen for its important role in representing trade mark attorneys in the UK. This is a fantastic achievement and the Royal Charter recognises the significant work undertaken by both CITMA and its members.As members of CITMA, our trade mark attorney’s continue to value the support that CITMA provides.
