Despite being under a common framework and same regulations, EU IP offices and those abroad do not always apply the same practices during the registration life cycle of a trade mark. Achieving approximation of practices between IP offices has become a top priority for IP User Associations, within the EU and beyond European borders.

The European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), through the EU-funded EU4IP project, hosted a delegation from the Ukrainian National Office for Intellectual Property and Innovations (UANIPIO) for a study visit from 5 to 7 November 2024. The objective of the study visit was to meet with selected EUIPO departments to identify cooperation synergies and to better understand the working processes of the EUIPO as a high-performing Intellectual Property (IP) office and how these processes could be replicated in the Ukrainian context.
To maximise the generation of tangible results, the project will dedicate resources to support the beneficiaries on an ad-hoc basis when needed. This may include, but should not be limited to, for example supporting the organisation/attendance to important events, technical assistance support (assignments requiring external and specific expertise under enlargement or AA/DCFTA issues), etc. In essence, ad hoc activities act as a critical buffer against the inherent uncertainty of project execution.
