In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have adapted our work processes to ensure continued delivery of our IP services. Our official meetings have moved to hybrid and virtual modes and we now offer a wide range of webinars with information about our services and IP in general.
We have also developed tools and conducted research to assist scientists, researchers and policymakers in finding solutions to the challenges posed by COVID-19.
