CITMA's got rhythm: We've created our very own anthem
This year’s Spring Conference delegates created something a little different. Alongside the serious business of dissecting AI's impact on IP law, we did something rather unexpected – we created a song.

At March's expanded Spring Conference, we invited Song Division, a talented musical duo, to help our 200 delegates co-create what has now become CITMA's unofficial anthem.
What started as an energising ice-breaker turned into something unique, and we've now captured the magic in a music video featuring footage from the conference itself.
The creative session took place during our action-packed opening day, which saw us explore AI's opportunities for the profession whilst putting online enforcement and sustainability firmly under the spotlight.
After delegates continued networking at our inaugural Spring Party – complete with stunning views from London's Sky Garden – we reconvened at the world-renowned Waldorf Hilton for day two's regulatory updates from Lord Chris Smith, Chair of IPReg, discussions on reviving legacy brands, and analysis of last year's most significant design and copyright cases.
But it's the song that got everyone talking. Here are the lyrics our community created together:
CITMA provides a community
Connecting lawyers through harmony
Network and build, new friendships
Sharing knowledge and IP tips
Networking strong, connections grow
The CITMA conference, you must go
AI's here to change the game
Trade mark law doesn't stay the same
Chorus:
Be bold, for trade mark law
CITMA is here and ready to roar
IP is here to stay
Doing things…the CITMA way
(woah)
Protecting brands, a digital age
Making sure we're on the same page
Sustainable work, a greener way
Building hope for a brighter day
Designs that last, protect them right
Let's talk it over drinks tonight
CITMA leads the way once more
See you later on the dancefloor…
Chorus:
Be bold, for trade mark law
CITMA is here and ready to roar
IP is here to stay
Doing things…the CITMA way
(woah)
We think it captures the spirit of what CITMA represents perfectly – our commitment to building community, sharing knowledge, and leading the way in trade mark and design law, all whilst having a bit of fun along the way.
Whether you were there creating it with us or you're hearing it for the first time, we hope our anthem brings a smile to your face and reminds you why we do what we do. After all, being bold for trade mark law has never sounded quite so catchy.
