Let n and k be positive integers, k≥3. Denote by ϕ(n, k) the least positive integer such that if F is any family of more than ϕ(n, k) sets, each set with n elements, then some k members of F have pairwise the same intersection. In this paper we obtain a new asymptotic upper bound for ϕ(n, k), k fixed, n approaching infinity.
