New designs enhance the value of Amazonian biodiversity
A new cycle of the WIPO Project IP for Young Designers, promoted by WIPO and funded by FIT/Japan IP Global, was implemented simultaneously in Brazil and Paraguay.
In Brazil, the Project emphasized the importance of Amazonian products and resumed the institutional partnership between WIPO, INPI and Sebrae, with universities and geographical indications in the Northern Region of Brazil - including the states of Acre, Amazonas, Pará, and Rondônia, the region where the Amazon rainforest is located, rich in biodiversity, cultures and productive ecosystems. During this new cycle of the project in Brazil, students from the Federal University of Amazonas (UFAM) and the State University of Pará (UEPA) joined the work.
