Graduates’ goals
Several graduates from the course hope to pursue careers in the field of IP, and many wish to contribute to the development of a stronger IP environment in their countries.
As soon as possible I would like to organize a seminar on the protection of trademarks in the countries of the Middle East. I would also like to contribute to the welfare of my country by advocating for the importance of innovation and IP management in a developing country.
