Vienna Classification System Trainings

The AfrIPI project seeks to promote the African IPOs’ awareness of the advantages of the existing international system of IP. Within this framework, three training sessions on the Vienna Classification (VCL) system were given to trade mark examiners in the Ethiopian IP office: the first two sessions (10 & 11 May 2021) focused on giving a general introduction to the VCL. The third session, held on 21 May 2021, followed a practical and interactive approach in presenting the EUIPO’s process model: from integrating the code, through the quality check and review to generating the search report for users.
