Inside the room shaping modern brand protection

​
 

ESCAPADES brings together senior in-house counsel, brand executives, business strategists, business owners, and leading IP attorneys from across a tightly connected intellectual property community.

The room reflects the people brands and creators consistently turn to — experienced operators and advisors who know each other’s work, share a common language, and are actively shaping how brand protection is handled at the highest levels.
