Speaking on the occasion, Govinda Subedi, director for administration and industrial facilitation at Department of Industry (DoI), said the importance of industrial and intellectual property is growing. “DoI has taken the initiatives, as there isn´t any genuine institution to handle information regarding industrial and intellectual property,” Subedi added.[break]
The seminar was jointly organized by Ministry of Industry and DoI in collaboration with World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
High-level government officials, legal experts, professors from different universities and intellectual experts from different countries participated in the seminar. The participants held discussions on 12 working papers on different aspects of intellectual property.
“The program became very important for us as we are using patent design and trade mark related to intellectual property,” Subedi added.
He also informed that the DoI and MoI signed an agreement with WIPO under which WIPO has agreed to introduce Appropriate Technology Project related to intellectual property in Nepal.
