Support to the ASEAN IPR Helpdesk for SMEs/MSMEs

This activity aims to assist ASEAN Member States (AMS) in the creation and further development of an ASEAN Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Helpdesk. The support envisioned under this activity includes advisory services on the content and format, and technical support on the IT system for the ASEAN IPR Helpdesk.

It is a follow-up activity to the feasibility study for an ASEAN IPR Helpdesk, which was supported by ARISE+ IPR under its previous Annual Work Plan 3. As part of this feasibility study, the existing helpdesks of AMS were examined and proposals for an ASEAN regional helpdesk were discussed.
