During the joint commission held in Munich from September 24 to 26, both institutions signed a new cooperation program for the period 2026–2027.
The program will cover activities in patent examination and granting, IT infrastructure, training, and raising awareness among stakeholders about industrial property.
The joint commission was held at the EPO headquarters, chaired by Abdelaziz Babqiqi, Director General of OMPIC, and Antonio Campinos, President of the EPO.
