ECIJA Ecuador participated in the INTA Annual Meeting 2026 in London
The International Trademark Association held its 2026 Annual Meeting in London, England, between 2 and 6 May, once again consolidating its position as the world's leading meeting for professionals, companies and organisations dedicated to intellectual property and intangible asset management. The event brought together more than 10,000 leaders from 140 jurisdictions, constituting a privileged space for the exchange of knowledge, regulatory updates and the construction of international collaboration networks.
ECIJA Ecuador participated in this edition through Gabriela Balseca, partner of the Intellectual Property area of the firm, whose presence reaffirmed the commitment of ECIJA Ecuador with a practice aligned to the highest international standards and with active visibility in the main forums of the sector.
In the framework of the event, Gabriela Balseca shared her perspective on the scope of the discipline: "IP expertise can generate a real impact in the world, far beyond the boardroom". A reflection that underlined the strategic and transformative dimension that intellectual property has acquired in the contemporary business and social environment.
ECIJA Ecuador's participation in the INTA Annual Meeting 2026 was an example of the firm's positioning as a regional benchmark in intellectual property matters, as well as its vocation to anticipate the global trends that mark the future of intangible asset management.
