ITMA becomes CITMA after royal seal of approval

The Institute of Trade Mark Attorneys (ITMA) has become the Chartered Institute of Trade Mark Attorneys (CITMA) following the receipt of its royal charter.

CITMA released a statement today, November 24, saying it is a “landmark achievement” for the intellectual property organisation.

Last night, November 23, WIPR attended a ceremony in London to celebrate the occasion. Kate O’Rourke, president of CITMA, was presented with the charter at the College of Arms, the location for a scene in the 1969 James Bond film “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”.

On the same day, CITMA filed trademarks for its new name and today it has officially launched its new branding and website design.
