The European Union Georgia Intellectual Property Project (EUGIPP) has organised an Enforcement Forum in June to encourage authorities, judges and private sector representatives to engage further in enforcing Intellectual Property rights (IPRs) and promote the use of best practices for the surveillance of IP infringements.
On 3 June 2021 we will present the results of the ‘Creativity and IP in Georgian schools’ activity and the lessons learned for the next academic year. During the event, which will officially bring the activity to an end, we will also celebrate the achievements of the students and pupils involved. Representatives of the Georgian Ministry of Education, who have supported the initiative since its inception, will be in attendance.
The EU-Georgia Intellectual Property Project (EUGIPP) and the National Intellectual Property Center of Georgia (Sakpatenti) held a series of events to celebrate World IP Day. The objective was to raise awareness of intellectual property and to encourage creativity among school pupils through various activities.
The EU-Georgia Intellectual Property Project (EUGIPP) has been supporting the National Intellectual Property Center of Georgia (Sakpatenti) to develop examination guidelines for national and international design applications. IP experts spent several months working in close collaboration with lawyers from the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) and Sakpatenti to draft these guidelines.
The National Intellectual Property Center of Georgia (Sakpatenti) has published a practice paper on the criteria for assessing the disclosure of designs on the internet and to provide recommendations thereof.
The purpose of this webinar is to prepare school activities in view of the World IP Day (26 April 2020). A trainer will coordinate a brainstorming session with teachers and advise on how to carry out such activities successfully. The event will be held online via Microsoft Teams and participants will be divided in two groups, for a total of around 17 participants.
