TT to help 3 Caricom countries

Three Caribbean countries are to receive assistance from the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) of the Ministry of Legal Affairs to install and configure Patent and Trademark Software Modules at their respective offices. The countries to benefit from this programme are Barbados, Belize and St Lucia.

This initiative to send missions to these Caricom states stems from a request made by the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO). Edith Sweeny, network administrator of the IPO, will be leading the missions to these countries during the period July to October, 2003. Minister of Legal Affairs, Camille Robinson-Regis expressed pleasure that her Ministry would be assisting fellow Caricom countries in the area of Intellectual Property.
