This activity, organised by IP Key LA with the support of the EUIPO, IP offices in Latin America and ASIPI, is a continuation of workshops held in previous years: in San José, Costa Rica in June 2018, and Quito, Ecuador in June 2019 for search and classification tools; and in Lima, Peru in November 2018 and San José, Costa Rica in July 2019 for classification and productivity tools.

On 23, 25 and 29 June 2020, IP Key SEA organised a series of webinars on trade marks targeting trade mark experts, legal officers and businesses in the SEA region to discuss the new developments in non-traditional or new types of trade marks in a fast moving digital world and how these marks are assessed by IP Offices. 

IP Key SEA organises a series of webinars on geographical indication (GI) protection in the EU and international trade agreements and control of GIs and protection in the market .  
The activity supports the more effective GI protection and control mechanisms that benefit not only GI producers, but also consumers.

IP Key SEA organises technical meetings on the enhancement of geographical indication (GI) protection on 26 and 30 June 2020 with the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO) and the Department of Intellectual Property (DIP) Thailand, respectively. The activity aims to contribute to improving GI systems in South-East Asia for the benefit of GI producers and and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia and Thailand and those from the EU who need GI protection in these countries. GI producers and SMEs benefit from effective GI protection systems.
