Success Stories

Learn from the beneficiaries of each WIPO Academy IPTI and discover the IP skills that propelled them to success in their respective fields:

Ms. Kristiann Sonny, beneficiary of the National Intellectual Property Training Center (NIPTC) of the Trinidad and Tobago Intellectual Property Office (TTIPO) shares how IP knowledge helped her take her oat punches, juices and dry oat cups to market.

I am the producer of Ninotsminda Honey. The training organized by the SAKPATENTI IP Training Center in Georgia greatly helped me in learning about the advantages of using the geographical indications system, which in turn helped me maximize the commercialization of my product in 2021 with the Georgian geographical indication. This increased my product sales and exports. Furthermore, my case served as an inspiration for other producers wishing to protect Georgian products of exceptional quality and reputation as a geographical indication.

– Mr. Giorgi Merabishvili

One of the IPTIs’ youngest beneficiaries, Mr. Rostyslav Yasnohor (age 11), shares how the training organized by the IP Academy of UKRPATENT in Ukraine helped him learn more about the importance of IP.
