Le lancement d'un portail de la PROPRIÉTÉ INTELLECTUELLE dans le cadre de l'ASEAN

Le portail de la propriété intellectuelle de l'ASEAN (ASEAN IP Portal) a été mis en service en mai à l'adresse www.aseanip.org. 

Ce portail fournit des informations sur la propriété intellectuelle de l'ASEAN et de chacun de ses pays membres, en vue de la Communauté économique de l'ASEAN en 2015. 

Il s'agit d'un événement revêtant une signification importante pour le développement des systèmes de protection de la propriété intellectuelle de la région ainsi que de chacun de ses Etats membres. 

Ce portail est découpé en différentes rubriques : groupe de travail de l'ASEAN sur la coopération dans la propriété intellectuelle (Working Group on Intellectual Property Cooperation - AWGIPC), activités concernant la propriété intellectuelle au sein de l'ASEAN, données statistiques et sources d'informations relatives à la propriété intellectuelle, coopération internationale. 

De plus, il facilite la circulation des informations au sein du réseau de connaissances de propriété intellectuelle de la région et permet aux intervenants d'accéder aux informations pertinentes - et recoupées - telles que les notifications et procédures sur l'examen des brevets de l'ASEAN (ASEAN Patent Examination Cooperation-ASPEC), une nouvelle initiative de partage du travail pour la recherche et l'examen en matière de brevets au sein de l'Association.
