The Commerce Department has been informed by EUIPO that this
year's edition of the ‘IP Course for Paralegals' will be held
online (via Zoom), during the mornings of 14 and 15 September 2021,
free of charge.
Following the success and the
feedback from previous editions, the course will have a hands-on approach this
year, involving practical examples and exercises to give participants
a more in-depth knowledge of the updates made to the EUIPO's practice. The programme
will also include two panel discussions covering brand protection in the
online environment and the EUIPO initiatives to support SMEs (Alternative
Dispute Resolution, pro bono services, easy e-filing, SME corner).
All the sessions will be held in English.
Persons interested
to participate are kindly requested to register before Thursday, 9 September 2021 via the registration page https://euipo.blumm.it/event/ar/1/ip-course-for-paralegals-2021.
The programme and
other useful information can also be found on the registration page.
