Members of government had a learning opportunity last month, attending an intellectual property conference in San Diego, California.
Alicia Reid of the Ministry of Financial Services and Carolee Nuñez of the Intellectual Property Office attended the International Trademark Association’s annual meeting, ’Business of IP’, held from 17-21 May.
The two attended workshops and seminars about anti-counterfeiting, artificial intelligence and gender equality in IP, and the patent cooperation treaty for the Caribbean.
They also joined a seminar hosted by the Intellectual Property Caribbean Association and a meeting with the Latin America and Caribbean subcommittee.
“We will use this knowledge to improve our services in the Cayman Islands, to assist our creators and entrepreneurs with their IP protection,” Nuñez said in a press release.
“This will allow them to earn from their work, encourage innovation and assist with economic growth. The information provided will also help the Ministry to develop policies and draft legislation. Others in attendance at the conference included IP legal professionals, brand representatives, government officials, judges, non-governmental organisations and solutions service providers.”
