| Description: |
Statistical analysis for the use of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Centralized Access to Search and Examination (CASE) system indicates that the usage of the system is steadily growing due to the fact that WIPO CASE now provides full IP5 patent examination and search reports and user interface has greatly enhanced. Participants’ feedback at the CASE Utilization Workshop, held in Singapore, has also reflected that usage of the system could be increased following national training workshops where all patent examiners would have an opportunity to receive hands-on training and to learn more about their experiences using work sharing tool from foreign speakers. It is obvious that further national trainings need to be organized to facilitate the use of the system by the current CASE members from the ASEAN countries, focusing on Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam.
In the meantime, we received a request from NOIP, Vietnam, to support their patent examiners and increase productivity on the patent examination work. |
