More yay! ITMA have been granted a Royal Charter! So they are now officially 125 years behind us, but we will try not to rub it in. I am glad because for too many years patent attorneys have been looking down their noses at trade mark attorneys, as indeed they have at most everyone else who isn’t a patent attorney, and believing we are more important because we have a couple more legal documents in our stationery cupboard. It is about time we treated trade mark attorneys with more respect. So what if they don’t all have science degrees? Let’s face it, I have a science degree, but my brain is wired in such an unscientific and illogical fashion that the thoughts can’t find their way out anyway unless the Uncertainty Principle Vector is blowing in the right direction. A science degree on its own proves nothing. I say this only partly because ITMA organise good parties. You don’t look down your nose at someone who throws a good party; you make them your Best Friend Forever, chartered or not. I hope that now the Privy Council have finished with ITMA’s Charter application, they can get their fingers out and progress our Bye-laws. Although there is presumably a more dignified version of getting your finger out for Privy Council members.
