Cooperation between the Mexican and Chinese PTOs to continue

On April 10, 2015, during a visit of a delegation of the State Intellectual Property Office of the People’s Republic of China (SIPO) to the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI), both offices have renewed a Memorandum of Understanding, in force since 2012.

Some of the planned collaboration projects include:

Formalization of the “Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) Program,” which has been in force as a pilot program since March 2013.
Continuation of the program of training and exchange of success stories between the staff of both offices, beginning in 2015.
Improvement and strengthening of the programs for exchange of documentation and information between both offices.
