HSM IP Presents to 200 Students at JGHS Sept 2025
68 Fort Street, Grand Cayman (29 September 2025): HSM IP was pleased to present the International Trademark Association’s (INTA) Unreal Campaign to over 200 students at John Gray High School (JGHS) on 24 September 2025.
HSM IP’s Mrinali Menon (Senior IP Manager) and Shirly Ramirez (IP Administrative Assistant) led the presentation, which covered the importance of trade marks, intellectual property (IP) and the dangers of counterfeit products.
The INTA Unreal Campaign is a global programme taught all over the world and is geared towards 14- to 23-year-olds. Over the years, HSM IP has delivered several of these presentations in the Cayman Islands across different schools.
A trade mark is an important identifier. It can be a word, design, service mark, building shape and more. Mrinali and Shirly also stressed the economic impacts of people purchasing knockoffs and how these inferior products can affect people’s health as well as safety.

As part of the presentation, the students enjoyed a game of “spot a fake”, where they had to guess which one was fake between two similar looking products.
Additionally, Mrinali touched on the topics of plagiarism, technology, IP and the best practices concerning usage of Artificial Intelligence (AI) platforms. In this technology driven era, such discussions are essential for the students.
HSM IP Managing Partner, Huw Moses shares, “At HSM, we believe it is important to help students understand the risks of counterfeiting and the value of protecting intellectual property. By raising awareness early, we can encourage respect for creativity and informed choices.”
HSM IP is a specialist intellectual property law practice based in the Cayman Islands and specialises in the Caribbean/Latin America market. They support major Fortune Global 500 brand owners, international law firms and other specialist IP practices.
