Overview
The Madrid Fellowship Program is a special World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) training activity within the Brands and Designs Sector that recruits qualified individuals (Examination Fellows) to fulfill learning objectives in line with WIPO’s mission to lead the development of a balanced and effective international IP system that enables innovation and creativity for the benefit of all. Through this program, fellows are recruited to conduct processing and formalities examinations for international trademark applications and associated transactions within any of the five teams of the Madrid Registry. The pre-evaluation review covers an understanding of the Madrid Fellowship Program, the target group, and the regions from which participants have been drawn, the program’s impact on ex-fellows, its relevance to Madrid Registry’s ongoing operations, and its effectiveness in contributing to WIPO's strategic pillars.
