Last 4-5 April EUIPO hosted the 26th User Group meeting bringing together 22 representatives from 15 international user associations. In this event, Christian Durán acted as the representative of ASIPI (Inter-American association of Intellectual Property).
The event serves to exchange views on EUIPO’s strategic activities and projects with a direct impact on users. Topics on the agenda included European and International Cooperation projects that are currently ongoing as well as an overview of the Interactive Collaborative Examination (ICE) initiatives, the Stakeholder Quality Assurance Panels (SQAP), and the EUIPO online services. A specific session on legal affairs issues provided an overview of the new EUIPO Guidelines and matters relating to Brexit.
