Forthcoming IP Forum in Mexico City

Patricia Covarrubia October 28, 2009 No comments:

If you happen to be in Mexico City between 18 and 19 of November do not miss this approaching meeting. The title seems to involve IP finance and surely sounds attractive:

‘LA PROPIEDAD INDUSTRIAL COMO ELEMENTO DE COMPETITIVIDAD. LA VISIÓN DE LAS EMPRESAS IBEROAMERICANAS’ (Industrial Property as a competitive element. The vision of the Ibero-American industries).

The conference is organised by the WIPO, together with the Oficina Española de Patentes y Marcas (OEPM) and Instituto Mexicano de la Propiedad Intelectual (IMPI). This conference seeks to discuss, according to the program , the key of having and securing IP rights for the international success of your company.
