19. 04. 2018

Today, April 19, 44 trainees of the National Institute of Justice undertook a documentation visit to the State Agency on the Protection of Intellectual Property (AGEPI).

The information activity was aimed to familiarize the future judges and prosecutors with the national system of protection and ensuring the respect for intellectual property, but also with the activity of the AGEPI’s Appeal Commission - the extra-judicial body empowered to solve intellectual property disputes.

For this purpose, the candidates to the position of judge and prosecutor participated to a working session of the AGEPI’s Appeal Commission, where complaints regarding industrial property objects were examined. The trainees also attended the pronouncement of the decisions on the cases examined during the respective session.

The activity is part of a series of actions realized in common by the National Institute of Justice and the State Agency on the Protection of Intellectual Property based on the Memorandum of cooperation signed by the two institutions in April 2013.
