Design examination - A two-day online training session on design examination was held online from 12 to 13 March 2024 to strengthen the skills of intellectual property (IP) registrars, in particular industrial design examiners, from the MERCOSUR countries, Chile and other Latin American countries. It was organised in collaboration with the IP cooperation project IP KEY Latin America. Led by experts from the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), the training covered registrability requirements such as novelty and originality, the registration of partial objects, and the interface between industrial designs and copyright. Creative aspects of technological design, including graphical user interface and icon design, were also covered.

The recording of the entire event is now available on YouTube in Spanish and Portuguese. In addition, the recordings and all presentations have also been added to the activity page.
