Latin America

Due to the current pandemic, an online workshop dedicated to trade marks has been organised by IP key LA, in collaboration with CarIPI. The target group comprises officials, in particular trade mark examiners from the national IP offices of Central America, Mexico and the Dominican Republic.

The overall objective is to promote the adoption of EU standards in examination, protection and enforcement of trade marks, in particular as regards the prevention of bad faith registrations and the registration of non-traditional trademarks.

On 3 June, the European project presented details of its structure and activities in Latin America to students of the University of San Andrés’ Master’s Degree in IP and Innovation in Argentina through a virtual platform.

On 27 May, IP Key LA participated in an online seminar, organised by WIPO and the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI). The activity "Systems of Madrid and The Hague in Mexico" convened national and international experts to discuss the uses, benefits and experiences with both systems.
