Post by Canadian Intellectual Property Office / Office de la propriété intellectuelle du Canada

Last few days have been busy at the World Intellectual Property Organization – WIPO Assemblies. 🤝 Our CEO has met with international partners including Intellectual Property Office UK, IP Australia, Japan Patent Office, USPTO, Mexico, China, India, Eidgenössisches Institut für Geistiges Eigentum, Deutsches Patent- und Markenamt (DPMA) and INPI Brasil - Instituto Nacional da Propriedade Industrial, to exchange updates and explore opportunities for collaboration. In addition, we’re advancing collaboration with the EUIPO - European Union Intellectual Property Office, INPI France, Norwegian Industrial Property Office (Patentstyret) and INAPI Chile through new agreements and work plans. We also extended our bilateral PPH agreement with the China National Intellectual Property Administration for another 5 years. Finally, our CEO chaired the PCT Union Assembly meetings at the World Intellectual Property Organization – WIPO Assemblies, facilitating constructive dialogue, fostering consensus and guiding discussions among member states. These initiatives strengthen our shared efforts to support innovation and effective #IP systems worldwide. #WIPOGA
