ISLAMABAD: Intellectual Property Organization of Pakistan (IPO-Pakistan) Thursday organised a three-day workshop on patents database search and the establishment of Technology and Innovation Support Center (TISC) in Pakistan.
The workshop was organised in collaboration with World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), Higher Education Commission (HEC) and National University of Science and Technology (NUST).
Addressing the workshop, IPO-Pakistan Director General Muhammad Irfan Tarar said that under the IPO Act, promotion of IP awareness and making accessible IP information to stakeholders was an important function of IPO-Pakistan. He said, however, IPO could not operate in isolation and had to work in collaboration with national and international partners in forms of TISC Project.
He appreciated the role of Higher Education Commission (HEC) which joined hands with IPO-Pakistan for laying the foundation of this network in Pakistan.
Director General IPO-Pakistan thanked the WIPO experts Alex Richael and Mussadiq Hussain who had come all the way from Geneva to share their valuable expertise and knowledge with the focal persons of newly established TISCs network in Pakistan.
