1.1 Overview |
|
|
Slovenian Intellectual Property Office (SIPO) had a number of contacts with the competent institutions in the field of IPR Enforcement, especially with the Market Inspectorate, Customs, Police and Courts of Justice. All these institutions expressed their willingness to cooperate, and endorsed the initiative of SIPO to establish a coordination working body. SIPO prepared proposals of the objectives and the procedures for coordination between the Customs, Market Inspectorate, Police, SIPO, Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Chamber of Craft, Courts of Justice and Association of Patent and Trademark Agents. SIPO will manage the preparations for the establishment of inter-sectoral coordination, and – once the coordination is established – implement the technical and professional support within its competencies. |
