Webinar on Careers in Intellectual Property Examination (Afternoon Session)
June 12, 2025 (Geneva, Switzerland) 16:00 - 17:30 Geneva time
Join us on November 11, 2025 in celebrating intellectual property (IP) examiners for their efforts and contributions to the global IP system.
IP examiners play a key role in ensuring the quality of patents, trademarks, industrial designs, and geographical indications worldwide, enabling innovation, technology and entrepreneurship to flourish. Each year, they tirelessly review, research and determine 20+ million applications fueling all industries from medicine to agriculture.
In December 2024, Saudi Arabia proposed the Development Agenda project on Empowering and Celebrating IP Examiners to the WIPO Committee on Development and Intellectual Property (CDIP). After its approval by the CDIP, the project launched in January 2025 to increase the capacity of the IP examiners in supporting IP registrations culminating in a celebration of IP examiners on November 11, 2025.
