WIPO is working to establish a competency framework in the area of trade mark and industrial design search, to assess training needs and develop relevant content for training activities to be carried out worldwide.

All IP professionals, particularly ECTA members, are kindly invited to cooperate on this project by completing this short survey no later than 8 September. The survey is in English and can be filled in anonymously.

This questionnaire aims to identify the competencies necessary to carry out the role of trade mark and industrial design search from the perspective of current professionals in the field.
