Workshop on Intellectual Property for Media Professionals
December 14, 2017
On December 7, WIPO and the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) organized the second edition of the Workshop on Intellectual Property for Media Professionals. The event took place at the WIPO Brazil Office (WBO) and welcomed 27 professionals from different media channels and fields (journalists, students and professors of journalism).
Representatives from WIPO and INPI delivered a one-day training session on IP, the role of INPI and WIPO, and common misconceptions when reporting on IP issues.
Thanks to its direct practical application, this workshop has seen increasing interest from media professionals in Brazil. The next edition of the Workshop is set to be held in São Paulo during the second semester of 2018.
