In September the EUIPO will organise a new edition of the ‘IP Course for Paralegals’. The course will take place over two mornings – 14 and 15 September – and be held virtually using the online platform Zoom.

Paralegals together with legal representatives have been recognised as a significant customer group for the EUIPO. We are constantly talking to our customers and we strive to incorporate their feedback into our work and our processes. The ‘IP Course for Paralegals’ therefore has been especially designed in response to the feedback from past edition’s surveys. This year the course will have a hands-on approach involving practical demonstrations examples and exercises to give participants in-depth knowledge of the updates in the EUIPO’s practice. The agenda will also include two panel discussions – one covering brand protection in the online environment and the other covering initiatives to support SMEs (EDR pro bono services easy e-filing SME corner).

Please note that all presentations will be given in English.
