IP Joint Seminar with the National Institute of Intellectual Property of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Qazpatent)

June 7, 2024

An IP seminar was held in Kazakhstan’s capital city of Astana from May 28 to 29, 2024 based on the Memorandum of Cooperation (MOC) in the field of Intellectual Property, which was signed between the Japan Patent Office and the National Institute of Intellectual Property of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Qazpatent). The seminar was organized by Qazpatent, with cooperation from the JPO.

The seminar consisted of three parts: trademark examination, patent examination quality, and anti-counterfeiting measures. Representatives from both sides gave presentations and actively exchanged opinions, which helped to deepen mutual understanding and develop cooperative relationships between the two offices.

Through these initiatives based on the MOC, the JPO will continue to promote cooperative relations with Qazpatent, while working to develop and improve the environment for IP systems and operations.
