The Use of Artificial Intelligence in IP offices - Knowledge Exchange between IP offices of MERCOSUR, Chile and the European Union on New Technologies and Intellectual Property

On 4 May 2023, the AL-INVEST Verde IPR online event ‘Case studies on the use of Artificial Intelligence in Intellectual Property offices’ was held in the IP offices of MERCOSUR, Chile and the EUIPO.

This was the first event organised under the ‘Knowledge Exchange between IP Offices of MERCOSUR, Chile and European Union on New Technologies and Intellectual Property’ initiative. Two more events will be held this year.

The meeting was led by José Torres from AL-INVEST Verde IPR and Miguel Olivares from the EUIPO’s International Cooperation Service. It included presentations by Rahul Bhartiya from the EUIPO’s Digital Transformation Department. It provided a golden opportunity for discussions with IP offices from MERCOSUR countries and Chile on the latest trends in AI.

This was the first scheduled meeting between IP offices from the region and the EU, under the Second Annual Plan of the AL-INVEST Verde IPR Action.
