Advanced Courses 2009
Dear WIPO Academy Alumni,
In response to the high demand to offer more advanced courses, the Distance Learning Section of the WIPO Academy opened its registration for the below-mentioned advanced courses in December 2008. We will be offering the advanced courses only once in 2009 and have therefore extended the registration date to February 18, 2009.
This announcement is sent to you so that you could benefit from continuing your education in IP. Unlike in DL-101, class sizes in advanced WIPO Academy courses are limited and you will be assigned a tutor (a practitioner in the relevant field) to guide you through the course.
The registration for the advanced courses is based on a fee structure. We would like to encourage you to apply as early as possible, if you have not done so already.
Thank you,
Distance Learning Program
