In attendance were staff the WIPO PCT Office, the Austrian Patent office, IP officers from the Gambia, Sierra Leone and Liberia and Ghana as well as Ghanaian stakeholders including law firms, research institutes and universities.

Today’s session introduced participants to the Ghanaian patent system, the Austrian patent system and the international filing route of the PCT. The Austrian office, a recognized International Search Authority also introduced participants to examples of collaborative services it offers to public research institutions and students to encourage innovation.
It was a stimulating conversation where stakeholders shared challenges and learned ways of collaborating to increase local patent activity within their institutions and with their respective IP offices.

We look forward to Day 2 of the discussions.
