The online seminar on the practical aspects of the Madrid System for advanced users is back, and will take place on December 8 and 9, 2021.

This seminar is geared towards experienced Madrid users from the North America, Latin America and the Caribbean regions (PM Geneva time zone). WIPO experts and special guest speakers from the IP Offices of China and of the United States of America, as well as from the private sector, will present and moderate interactive sessions on selected topics. Registration is now open for two half-days of in-depth training on the Madrid System.

What to expect

Similarly to past editions, this highly popular and hands-on masterclass will focus on a wide range of Madrid System processes and procedures, such as filing an international application and managing registrations. It also serves as a useful platform for participants to exchange knowledge and ideas. Furthermore, it provides a forum for feedback that will help us in our continuous improvement and enhancement of the System for our fast-expanding user base.

WIPO experts and special guest speakers from the IP Offices of China and of the United States of America, as well as from the private sector in Canada, will present and moderate interactive sessions on selected topics, including tips for filing and examination procedures for the international application, examination and refusal procedures before IP Offices and post-management procedures under the Madrid System. Each session will be based on detailed case studies analysis and group discussions on specific procedures and issues.

This seminar also provides networking opportunities among participants through networking sessions and the exchange of contact information. 

Participants will receive a WIPO certificate upon completion of the seminar.
