Following the integration of Georgian terms in the EUIPO harmonised database, this activity entails organising a seminar for the benefit of Sakpatenti officials, IP attorneys and other Georgian users.
The EU Georgia Intellectual Property Project (EUGIPP) is supporting the National Intellectual Property Center of Georgia – Sakpatenti – in becoming an ISO 9001:2015 certified organisation. Two events were held in the second semester of 2020, exchanging experiences with the services responsible for quality standards at the IP Office of Lithuania and of the EUIPO.
The EUGIPP is actively supporting the IP Training Centre of Georgia (SIPTCG). In cooperation with the EUIPO Academy, the project team discussed with Sakpatenti’s training experts about potential learning needs.
Sakpatenti analysed the EUIPO learning catalogue and identified specific courses to target small businesses and enforcement authorities. Such courses are now going to be translated, edited with subtitles and put at the disposal of end users.
On 27 and 28 November, the third and last of a cycle of three online workshops for teacher coordinators and Sakpatenti staff representatives will take place.
The workshops, organised by the EU-Georgian Intellectual Property Project (EUGIPP), are part of the initiative ‘Creativity and IP in Georgian schools’, which intends to reach out to over 1 000 Georgian students during the forthcoming academic year.
