The Uruguayan Network of Intellectual Property ("Red
Uruguaya de Propiedad Intelectual – Red PI") was
established in 2008 with the mission of creating, promoting and
using tools and services related to Intellectual Property in order
to facilitate the protection and incorporation of value to the
local production of goods and services.
Three working groups were created under the Industrial Property
Network (Red PI): Group 1, Awareness and training in IP; Group 2,
Entrepreneurship; and Group 3, Debate on intellectual property. In
February 2016, the first meetings for the three groups took place
in order to develop their work plans and schedule of activities for
this year.
Group 3, together with the Uruguayan PTO, organized a seminar to
discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the Patent Cooperation
Treaty (PCT), which took place on March 31, 2016.
