BIR Publishes the Conkle Firm’s Report of Cosmoprof Bologna
As a follow-up to participating in the 49th annual Cosmoprof Bologna, Conkle, Kremer & Engel attorney Eric S. Engel authored an article for Beauty Industry Reports reviewing the event and its impact.  The just-published article particularly focuses on California Trade Alliance’s California Pavilion and the two USA Pavilions.  CK&E was the sponsor of the exhibitors’ lounge in the California Pavilion again this  year, and it proved useful for the many meetings California Pavilion participants arranged with distributors and buyers, as participants maximized their potential by expanding international business opportunities.  CK&E is glad to be able to continue its support and work with beauty industry members to grow their businesses internationally as well as in the U.S.  We’ll see you next year, at the golden 50th annual Cosmoprof Bologna.

California Pavilion Exhibitors Achieve Goals at Cosmoprof Bologna
Positive Global Sales

Cosmoprof Bologna came to a successful close on March 21.  The overall show statistics are not available yet, but participants in the California Pavilion experienced brisk business.  The California Pavilion this year expanded to two islands with 18 exhibitors, and booths were often crowded with interested buyers.  The CK&E lounge at the center of the California Pavilion buzzed with deal negotiations, and CK&E attorneys Mark Kremer and Eric Engel were glad to be able to lend their assistance to help participants expand their global reach.

Organizer Cesar Arellanes of California Trade Alliance commented that California Pavilion participants reported meeting or exceeding their goals for the show, expanding and strengthening their international business.

CK&E attorneys advise clients to prepare for major trade shows, particularly foreign shows, by verifying that they have taken all appropriate steps to protect their trademarks, trade dress and other valuable intellectual property, before problems arise.  To help one well-prepared client, Mark Kremer successfully initiated an immediate takedown of counterfeit products being sold in another hall.  CK&E attorneys attend major beauty industry trade shows to help protect clients’ brands, to keep current on trends, and to assist clients with the full range of legal skills needed to grow their businesses internationally.
