ArisePlusIPR

The ARISE+ IPR team supported the participation of trademark examiners from Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, and Lao PDR in an attachment training on Madrid operations and trademark examination. The attachment training was hosted by the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL), from 5-9 August, at the IPOPHL office, Manila, the Philippines. 

ARISE+ IPR, in coordination with the national Intellectual Property (IP) offices of the ASEAN Member States, publishes a booklet on ASEAN Geographical Indications (GIs) procedures and products.

GIs are signs which identify a product as originating in a particular region or locality, where a given quality, reputation or other characteristic of the product is essentially attributable to its geographical origin. They are considered a useful tool for economic growth and sustainable development, particularly in rural areas.
