The hybrid workshop will facilitate exchange on prevailing trends in the sphere of intellectual property (IP)-related assistance. Drawing upon Article 67 of the TRIPS Agreement, the event will aim to enhance dialogue between beneficiary and reporting members and intergovernmental organizations (IGOs). This is with a view to improving overall coordination and the matching of programmes with priority needs.
The workshop will also provide an opportunity to assist in the design and delivery of tailored and coordinated capacity-building activities that respond to needs identified by beneficiary members and observers.
Who should attend?
- Government officials from WTO members and observers with responsibility for, or direct experience in, managing intellectual property and the reception of technical assistance programmes (related to IP) are invited to attend.
- Officials of IGOs involved in IP-related cooperation are also welcome to attend.
Simultaneous interpretation in all three WTO official languages (English, French and Spanish) will be provided.
