The ARISE+ IPR team supported the participation of IP officials and producers from Cambodia, Lao PDR and Myanmar to learn more about geographical indications (GIs) at the AsiaGI 2019 training event in Bali, Indonesia, on 25-30 March. The training event was organised by CIRAD, the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development, and REDD, a training and consultancy organisation based in Switzerland that supports sustainable agriculture through engagement with food producers and consumers.

Representatives from the business community, IP practitioners, officials and other stakeholders gained insights on the procedures and advantages of protecting brands through the Madrid Protocol for the international registration of marks at a series of ARISE+ IPR workshops held in Indonesia, Lao PDR, Cambodia and Thailand from 27 February to 5 March. The workshop in Cambodia also included information on the Hague system for the international registration of designs.
