Cele i zakres obowiązków
| Cele i zakres działalności organizacji: |
MARQUES is a European association representing brand owners' interests worldwide. Established in 1986 and later incorporated in the United Kingdom as a not for profit company limited by guarantee, MARQUES unites Europe’s and International brand owners across all product sectors to address issues associated with use, protection and value of intellectual property rights as these are vital to innovation, growth and job creation, which ultimately enhance internal markets. Its membership includes brand owners and IP professionals in more than 80 countries. MARQUES is at the forefront of all those institutional and policy-making processes that lead to reform of IP legislation and practice.
MARQUES aims to:
• be a trusted voice for brand owners
• educate in the field of management and exploitation of IP rights;
• promote the professional development of our members; and,
• be a reliable partner in advancing these aims.
An important objective of MARQUES is to safeguard the interests of the public by ensuring the proper protection of trademarks and of all IP rights in general, and to safeguard the interests of IPR proprietors with regard to the regime of IPR protection. MARQUES attempts to achieve this objective by advancing the cause of the trade mark and IPR laws which protect the public from deception and confusion.
MARQUES is an accredited organization before the OHIM – Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market, appointed observer at the OHIM’s ABBC – the Administrative Board and Budget Committee, an official non-governmental observer at WIPO - World Intellectual Property Organization and a registered interest representative organization (ID number 97131823590-44) in the “Transparency register” set up by the European Parliament and the Commission, which extends and replaces the former “Register of interest representatives” opened by the Commission in 2008.
More information about the Association, its activities and upcoming events is available at www.marques.org.

The MARQUES Council is composed of up to a maximum of 40 members (currently and usually about 25-30), with not more than 6 representatives from any one country. Council members may be Corporate or Expert Members but a majority of Corporate Members is sustained by limiting the number of Expert Members to a maximum of 14. Expert Members are usually elected in recognition of their particular qualifications and past significant contribution to MARQUES.
The Council normally meets 3 times a year, usually in March (at the time of the Winter/Spring Meeting), June and September (at the time of the Annual Conference). Its objective is to formulate corporate policy and monitor its implementation based on reports from the Executive Committee, the various Teams and the MARQUES Secretariat, and to initiate ideas and give directions for further development of these groups.
The Executive Committee consists of the Chair and the two Vice-Chairs, who are elected every other year at the March meeting of Council from their own number, and must be Corporate Members of MARQUES. They are responsible to Council and the membership for the day-to-day management of the association including financial matters and budgeting.
The Executive Committee is assisted by a Treasurer who is elected by Council annually from their own number at the March meeting upon the nomination by the Executive Committee.
The Executive Committee is also assisted by Council members co-opted for specific roles and responsibilities. The Company Secretary, the Internal Relations Officer and the External Relations Officer also assist the Executive Committee.
The Executive Committee appoints special task forces for specific topics as the need arises.
