Academia de la OMPI - [WSS] Programa de cursos de verano sobre propiedad intelectual

Curriculum

The Summer School program provides an opportunity to senior students, young professionals and government officials to acquire deeper knowledge of each domain of intellectual property (IP) and of the role and functions of WIPO.

The WIPO-CIPPM Summer School program will take place virtually only via Zoom Meetings, hosted by the Centre for Intellectual Property, Policy and Management (CIPPM) Bournemouth University (BU), UK.

The program consists of lectures, case studies, simulation exercises and group discussions on selected IP topics, with an orientation towards the interface between IP and other disciplines.

A certificate of participation is awarded to participants who successfully complete the program requirements. To receive a certificate of participation, participants will be expected to be present (present through a combination of video, audio, and group discussion) for no less than 80% of these live sessions and take part in discussions and projects.

Before applying, applicants should consider the required commitment to 6-hour day (10 am to 4 pm GMT) with a lunch break in-between.

A further hour (4 – 5 pm GMT) will be available optionally to students from Wednesday May 7 to Thursday  May 15, following the live sessions, should they wish to further discuss their topics with the relevant tutors in general or in preparing their Group Reports for presenting on the final day.

Eligibility

The Summer School is open to senior students (graduate and postgraduate students) and young professionals from any field of study or discipline. The program is designed for candidates who wish to obtain deeper knowledge of IP law. Applicants who are more senior in their field of IP law may find the WIPO-CIPPM Summer School less challenging but are still welcome to apply.

There are a limited number of spots, and applicants are encouraged to apply sooner rather than later. Once the program has reached capacity with fully registered applicants (accepted by WIPO and CIPPM and paid with BU), registration will close.

We recommend interested applicants applying from a country under U.S. sanctions (Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, or the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine) apply through WIPO as soon as possible to increase their chances of obtaining the required license in time for this or (more likely) a future year.
