The next "must-have" accessory: competition

The second of this week's two IPKat competitions (the first is here) relates to the forthcoming annual conference, Intellectual Property in the Fashion Industry: Handbags at dawn! This enjoyable event, held in Central London on Tuesday 21 September, is chaired by IPKat team blogger Jeremy, who will be responsible for keeping order while a lively bundle of speakers provides news, views, advice and sage counsel on the state of play for IP in the fashion sector.

Right: when Tibbles got it home and took it out of the box, he was most annoyed to discover that it clashed with his natural fur colours ...

The rules of the competition are simple. You have been asked to nominate next year's "must-have" accessory for the smart and savvy intellectual property lawyer (male or female). What's needed is something that makes him/her look highly professional, dead effective and ultra-cool. Tell us what it is -- and why -- and can win the prize: complimentary admission to this exciting and thoroughly enjoyable event (plus a delicious lunch). To enter the competition, email the IPKat here, with the subject line "Accessory". Closing date is close of play on Sunday 5 September, so you'd better get your fashion brains working.
