SURVEY ON WIPO’S NEW DIGITAL IP SERVICE
28/02/2020
WIPO will launch its New Digital IP Service soon and, in order to meet users' needs more effectively, seeks for the feedback via a brief survey in this regard.

The service will help inventors and creators, individuals and businesses to add an additional layer of safekeeping for their digital IP assets. This service will also complement any existing IP strategy for patents (the PCT System), trade marks (the Madrid System) or designs (the Hague System).

To access the survey and give your contribution, please click HERE.
