Our trade fair portfolio offers events and services throughout the world
With around 40 trade fairs for industrial goods, consumer goods and new technologies, Messe München International is one of the world’s leading trade fair companies. Currently, we organize 14 international leading trade fairs, including the largest trade fair in the world, the bauma.
Excellent services across the globe
True to our leitmotiv “Connecting Global Competence”, we combine internationally appealing trade fair locations with excellent trade fair service. This allows us to make your presence at the trade fair a key to your success.
Proven competence in a variety of industries
Our company offers you profound competences in the environmental technology, building and new technologies industries. If you have any industry-specific questions, please contact us.
We’re committed to protecting products and brands
Our comprehensive measures are designed to protect as best as possible your intellectual property rights as an exhibitor.
As a global trade fair company, we explicitly fight against product and brand piracy. Our catalog of measures includes:
An anti-plagiarism clause in the participation requirements for each trade fair
- A general photography ban
- A free of charge trade fair stand about customs, and the German Patent and Trademark Offices
Upon our initiative, Munich’s District Court reserves court sessions for events particularly prone to product and brand piracy. This allows you to accelerate the legal proceedings if you are affected. Please clearly mark on your form that it is related to the trade fair.
Quick solutions with our Intellectual Property Panel
With our Intellectual Property Panel (IPP), we open up new ways to exhibitors for conflict resolution. At some trade fairs, exhibitors suspecting a violation of their intellectual property rights can immediately notify the IPP before or during the fair. The panel will decide within 24 hours if intellectual property rights have been violated.
The IPP acts either as an arbitration court, offering an out of court settlement if rights have been violated, or, if the exhibitor wishes, as an evaluation board. In the case of the latter, the exhibitor receives an evaluation to present in court.
Our IPP is comprised of legal- and industry experts. It is led by a representative from the Max-Planck-Institute for Intellectual Property, Competition and Tax Law.
Regardless of the IPP, you also have the option of directly contacting the responsible District Court
Further information is available from the respective trade fairs’ project management.
