WIPO-Mexico Summer School on Intellectual Property

May 24, 2018

The tenth edition of the WIPO-Mexico Summer School on IP was held in Guadalajara from May 7 to 18, 2018, in cooperation with the Instituto Mexicano de la Propiedad Industrial (IMPI) and the Universidad de Guadalajara (UDG). 

The Summer School took place in an auditorium on the ninth floor of the Universidad de Guadalajara (UDG) and welcomed around 45 participants, mostly from the region.  After nine editions in Mexico City, this was the first time the summer school was delivered in a different city and participants from the region were particularly grateful for this change of strategy, which allowed many of them to participate.

Opening ceremony

Ms. Isabella Pimentel, Counsellor of the WIPO Brazil Office, represented the WIPO Academy during the opening ceremony along with with Mr. Miguel Ángel Margáin, President of Instituto Mexicano de la Propiedad Industrial (IMPI), and Mr. Miguel Ángel Navarro Navarro, Dean General of Universidad de Guadalajara (UDG). 

Ms. Pimentel also delivered presentations introducing IP and WIPO’s role, as well as on the work of the WIPO Academy.

Summer school program

Other topics covered throughout the the two-week program included: Copyright and Related Rights,

  • Trademarks, Geographical Indications,
  • IP and academic research,
  • IP and software protection,
  • Patents,
  • Industrial Designs,
  • IP in social networks,
  • IP and business strategies,
  • Trade Secrets,
  • IP and Research and Development,
  • enforcement of IP rights, and
  • women in science.

IMPI also organized presentations of videos recently produced to mark World IP day as well as episodes of educational cartoon Pororo, translated into Spanish in cooperation with WIPO.

What are WIPO Summer Schools? 

WIPO Summer Schools are designed for senior students, junior professionals and government officials.  They cover the main topics on IP in a multidisciplinary way. 

Participants have to complete the WIPO Academy DL101 General Course on IP before beginning the face to face training portion. By doing so, they arrive in the classroom with a more or less equal base of knowledge on the subjects which will be covered and the training can then take on a more problem-oriented and interactive approach.
