A Vietnamese delegation led by Director General of Vietnam’s National
Office of Intellectual Property Ta Quang Minh attended the 51st session
of the General Assembly of Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) in
Geneva.
The Director General hailed the increasing cooperation
between Vietnam and WIPO, saying that Vietnam has actively participated
in projects within framework of WIPO development programmes since
becoming its member.
The Geneva-based organisation every year
helps Vietnam through programmes on distance learning and database
access, raising the capacity of Vietnam’s intellectual property system.
On
the sidelines of the meeting, which took place from September 23 to
October 2 and drew delegations from 186 WIPO member countries, the
Vietnamese delegation met with bilateral partners to promote
cooperation.
The Vietnamese delegation and other ASEAN member countries
held meetings with WIPO and the Office for Harmonisation in the Internal
Market (OHIM) – the European Union agency responsible for registering
trademarks and designs that are valid in all 28 EU countries.-VNA
