The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) has
recognized the leadership of the Mexican Institute of Industrial
Property (IMPI) by unanimously recommending its designation as an
International Searching Authority and International Preliminary
Examining Authority, within the framework of the Patent Cooperation
Treaty (PCT).
This recommendation results from the evaluation conducted by the
PCT Committee for Technical Cooperation and constitutes a
recognition of the institutional development achieved by IMPI.
The next step will be the formal evaluation and approval by the
PCT Assembly, which will be required to confirm the designation so
that IMPI may officially assume these functions as an international
authority.
