‘EUIPO at the service of custumers - our digital journey’: Survey by 21 January 2022

30/11/2021

Dear Member,

One of the EUIPO goals is to develop advanced customer-centric services.

To this end, the Office prepared the document EUIPO at the service of custumers – our digital journey which describes the EUIPO’s services planned to be launched under the SP2025. All the services will be designed around four main pathways: discover IP, protect IP, manage IP and exploit and defend IP.

The EUIPO invites stakeholders for feedback on the document by filling this survey, which contains 3 questions. Please feel free to share your views by 21 January 2022.

Kind regards,

ECTA
