Corsearch Connect Live Paris: Celebrating the Trademark Community

As the number of active trademark registrations worldwide approaches 100 million, there has never been a better moment to celebrate the people helping brands create, protect and grow what makes them distinctive.

Join fellow trademark professionals and the Corsearch team for relaxed conversation, new connections and shared perspectives on the profession we are all part of.

A profession in motion

There is plenty changing. Corsearch Connect is about making time to talk about it together. 

104,263 EU trademark applications in the first half of 2026

The highest first half total ever recorded by the EUIPO, and 8.4% higher than the same period in 2025. (EUIPO)

74% of surveyed in house IP practitioners are already using AI tools

Technology is quickly becoming part of how IP teams work, collaborate and manage growing demands.(INTA)

94% say speed and efficiency are driving AI adoption

As workloads and expectations change, trademark professionals are finding new ways to work while retaining the expertise and judgement the profession depends on. (INTA)

An evening for the people behind the marks

Trademark work is constantly evolving, but Corsearch Connect is deliberately stepping away from presentations and packed agendas this year.

Instead, we are creating time to meet the people you normally see on screens and email threads, reconnect with familiar faces, make new connections and exchange ideas with others who understand the opportunities and challenges of working in trademarks.

• Connect with your community: Spend time with trademark professionals from brands, law firms and the wider IP community.
• Meet the people behind Corsearch: Connect face to face with the Corsearch teams you work with, from trademark experts to customer and product teams.
• Exchange ideas: Compare experiences, talk about what is changing in your world and hear how others are approaching their work.
• Celebrate what comes next: Take a moment to recognise how far the trademark industry has come and look ahead to its next chapter.
