DCEA Tools for Countries in Transition

One of the priorities of DCEA activities is to provide support to our Member States to enable them to assess the case for creating a national Intellectual Property (IP) Strategy and how to relate that to the Government’s economic and cultural strategy with respect to creativity and innovation.

To support the development of national IP strategies, DCEA has been developing a new series of tools for experts and practitioners, as well as policy makers in countries in transition:
