The School of Law of UCLan Cyprus is very pleased to announce that during a pan-European conference that took place in June 2018 in Athens in the presence of more than 800 Intellectual Property specialists, Cypriot lawyer and Associate Lecturer in Intellectual Property Law at the School of Law of UCLan Cyprus Sozos-Christos Theodoulou was unanimously elected as President of the reputable European Communities Trademark Association (ECTA).
