After an incredible journey, we’re excited to share that all IP Key Projects have officially concluded! 🌟 📅 Important Update: This account will no longer be active starting January 2026. But don’t worry—you can still stay in the loop on the EUIPO’s global IP initiatives.

Having concluded one regional project while already moving forward with another, here's how the @EU_IPO has supported its partner countries in Southeast Asia in advancing their IP systems over the past four years in the context of #IPKeySEA Phase 2. 👉 ipkey.eu/en/south-east-asia/…

While #IPKeySEA project has come to an end, the EUIPO’s collaboration with South-East Asia continues through the EU-ASEAN Sustainable Connectivity Package – Intellectual Property Rights (#ScopeIPR), demonstrating our unwavering commitment to strengthening IP protection worldwide.

To mark this milestone, the EUIPO organised a closing event on 3–4 December with the participation of senior representatives from the Delegation of the European Union to Thailand and the Directorate-General for Trade (DG TRADE) of the European Commission.

The @EU_IPO concludes another important chapter in its cooperation with #SouthEastAsia as the 2nd phase of #IPKeySEA comes to a close. The project has played a key role in sharing knowledge and best practices on IP protection with authorities and professionals in the region.

Yesterday, the EUIPO organised a Forum on Industry Cooperation Against IP Infringements in the European Union and Southeast Asia in the context of the #IPKeySEA project. It featured speakers from the Observatory and IP offices and European chambers of commerce in Southeast Asia.

The impact of technological developments in the protection and enforcement of such IP rights as well as the examination work carried out by the PH and ID IP Offices were also discussed. Held in a hybrid format from 30 Sept to 2 Oct, the events attracted over 160 participants.

The conference offered practitioners the latest updates on the legal frameworks governing these two IP rights in the EU and Southeast Asia. Meanwhile, the workshops provided examiners with practical insights and best practices.
