On March 16, 2016, the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office
(OEPM) and the European Patent Office (EPO) signed a new work
plan for the cooperation with Ibero America during
2016-2017.
The cooperation is mainly aimed at:
- Developing Ibero-American patent systems to boost
innovation-based economies.
- Improving the quality and efficiency of patent search and
examination in Ibero-American countries.
- Facilitating access to patent information in the region.
In order to achieve these objectives, the following activities
are planned: seminars for judges and attorneys, training for
patent examiners, seminars for patent office staff and experts
in IP, and continued support for existing IP projects in the
region, such as the Ibero-American Patent Database LATIPAT
or the IP Ibero-American Program (IBEPI www.ibepi.org).
