ALICANTE, Spain - The European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) announced in a press release that it has hosted online bilateral meetings with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the European Patent Office (EPO) on 10 and 12 June 2020.
The meetings aimed at providing both organisations with an outline of the activities in the portfolio of the European Cooperation Projects (ECP1-8) under the new Strategic Plan of the Office, SP2025.
The EUIPO also presented the next steps to be taken during the second half of 2020 and 2021, and invited WIPO and EPO representatives to show their interest in participating in the upcoming ECP working groups.
