The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is organising an interactive webinar about « Youth and Intellectual Property – A View of WIPO Services and Initiatives » on 28 June 2022.

In this interactive session, you will discover how young inventors, creators and entrepreneurs can use intellectual property to achieve their goals, generate income, create jobs, tackle local and global challenges and support the development of their communities.

The goal of this webinar is to inspire and encourage young entrepreneurs to access and use IP services through best practices in business development. Young entrepreneurs will be able to exchange views on issues related to IP for youth, learn from first-hand, peer experiences and benefit from the know-how of our WIPO team.  Additional follow-up support and activities will also be offered.

The six panel sessions will explore:

• Why IP is important to young entrepreneurs and how it is beneficial for their innovations and businesses.
• Initiatives for young entrepreneurs and SMEs: Scale-up your IP with the IP Diagnostics
• Protecting your Trademarks, Industrial Designs and Geographical Indications internationally with the Hague, Madrid, and Lisbon systems
• Protecting your inventions internationally with the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT)
