🚨 Important update for IP rights holders Electronic Applications for Action (eAFAs) to Customs are now mandatory in the EU. This step helps to streamline intellectual property protection further and combat counterfeit/infringing goods crossing borders. Submit eAFAs via the IP Enforcement Portal (IPEP) for all EU Member States (or through national portals in Germany, Italy and Spain). Need guidance or help filing AFAs? Our Irish and UK offices are happy to help: 📧 Ireland: Galway@keltie.com | Aisling.Murphy@keltie.com 📧 UK Eleni.Mezulanik@keltie.com | Amber.Waynik@keltie.com 🌐 Learn more about the changes here: https://lnkd.in/e2XCPMYi #IPProtection #CustomsRegulations #eAFAs #AntiCounterfeiting #EU

From trade marks to mud huts, our Keltie team from the London Bridge office had a fantastic day volunteering at The Albany Theatre in Deptford. With the support of Keltie's DICE Committee, they built a fence for a new "mud club" for pre-schoolers and their parents and carers to enjoy! 🌿🛠️ Thanks to some glorious autumn weather (despite recent rain) the team managed to avoid starting a mud wrestling league! 👏 Thanks once again to Community Southwark for coordinating the activity and to all the volunteers:  Emily Curtis, Edward Belknap, Lucy D., Gemma Christie, Thomas Franks-Moore, Alex Covington, Lloyd Edwards, and Rebecca Saunders. This is one example of how we use our volunteering leave to support the local community. Well done, everyone! 🙌 #TeamKeltie #VolunteeringLeave #CommunitySupport
