The Taiwan Intellectual Property Office (TIPO) has partnered with the European Economic Trade Office (EETO) to host the 2022 EU-Taiwan Seminar on Design Protection on March 9, 2022 (Wed.) at the GIS MOTC Convention Center. For the Seminar, Pieter Veeze (Senior Lawyer at the Benelux Office for Intellectual Property), Adriana (Rianne) van Rooden (Policy Officer at DG GROW, European Commission), Stephan Hanne (Policy Officer at DG Trade, European Commission), Professor Chung-Hsin Chang (Assistant Professor at Soochow University), and Ming-Feng Hsu (TIPO Senior Patent Examiner) were invited to share and exchange on the differences in Taiwan’s and the EU’s approach to design protection, the challenges and opportunities arising from global digitalization, and the interaction between copyright and design protection. The Seminar provided an opportunity for the two sides to foster a deeper understanding of one another.

Over 180 attendees from the private sector, government agencies, and academia in both Taiwan and the EU　participated in this seminar either online or in-person to exchange experiences and perspectives with guests and experts and cultivated a space for active discussion.
