"As the only training center that provides both legal and non-legal trainings, the National Institute of Justice has also covered the intellectual property segment by integrating the “Intellectual Property” module into its continuous training plans. In this regard, in order for our beneficiaries to know the specificity of the intellectual property law, last year we carried out 12 continuous training activities in which 211 people were trained, and in the first half of this year six activities were organized resulting in the training of 85 people" mentioned Diana Scobioala, the Director of NIJ, at the second edition of the regional seminar "Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights".
The event is taking place between June 5-6, 2019 and it is organized by the State Agency on Intellectual Property of the Republic of Moldova in cooperation with the World Intellectual Property Organization and the National Institute of Justice.
The Regional Seminar brings together representatives of public institutions and authorities with duties in the field of protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights from Republic of Moldova and the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, as well as rights holders.
The event aims to strengthen knowledge in the area of intellectual property, to identify the challenges faced by authorities responsible for enforcement of intellectual property rights and to exchange experience, good practices and tools to prevent counterfeiting and illicit trade. The works of the current edition will address the investigation and examination of disputes in the field of intellectual property, notably infringement of trademark rights.
