Following the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed
last month by the European Patent Office (EPO) and Bulgarian partners, Sofia
University „St. Kliment Ohridski“ is one of the latest institutions to benefit
from the EPO’s new Modular Intellectual Property Education Framework (MIPEF).
The university has integrated MIPEF, a flagship
programme of the European Patent Academy, into its new Master’s in Intellectual Property
and Technology Transfer planned for October 2023. As a result, students on
the Master’s programme will have access to a high-quality IP course designed by
the Academy in close co-operation with EPO patent examiners and IP experts.
