From 18 to 20 December 2017 "On-the-job training for CGPDTM examiners performing tasks related to the Madrid Protocol" will take place on EUIPO premises in Alicante, Spain.
Three CGPDTM Officials from the Mumbai IPO will be on a three day mission to attend a number of sessions which are a follow up from a former exchange of views held in June 2017 in India. Two female officials will be part of the Indian team attending the sessions together with a senior official also designated as the Indian National Co-ordinator for the IPC-EUI project.
Three EUIPO Madrid System experts will be responsible for providing officials with the relevant technical information to suggest enhancements to CGPDTM Madrid guidelines thereby helping them in their daily tasks. In addition practical technical sessions on Madrid-related processes and proceedings will take place with a focus on absolute and relative grounds as per officials' requirements.
