VI.INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION ACTIVITIES IN THE FIELD OF INDUSTRIAL DESIGN INFORMATION
International exchange of industrial design information in machine-readable form (e.g., Official Gazettes)
The activity of the Bulgarian Patent Office in terms of international cooperation is directly related to Bulgaria's membership in international organizations in the field of intellectual property protection – the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the European Patent Office (EPO) and the European Union Office for Intellectual Property (EUIPO). Enhanced bilateral cooperation with institutions in the field of intellectual property of other countries has also been carried out.
Participation in international or regional activities and projects related to industrial design information.
The Patent Office of the Republic of Bulgaria and the Industrial Property Office of the Czech Republic signed a Memorandum of Understanding in Munich, at the European Patent Office headquarters. The agreement aims to establish a framework for regular exchange of information and best practices to support innovation, creativity, and development of national intellectual property systems.
