WIPO - Workshop in Trademark Law and Examination

An item on the ever useful and interesting Afro-IP blog alerted this part of the Empty Quarter to the WIPO Techincal Assitance Database (here) and from there to an item (here) about a Workshop in Trademark Law and Examination hosted in Korea. "The objectives of the Workshop shall be to: (i) enhance the knowledge of trademark examiners of the principles of trademark law and trademark examination procedures; (ii) increase their skills in actual examination of trademark applications; and (iii) provide an opportunity to exchange views on issues related to the Madrid System." 

The workshop was attended by representatives from Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Iran. This part of the Empty Quarter hopes they brought back and shared much useful learning.
