Workshop: “Industrial Property: Opportunities and Services Offered by the UIBM and the Network of Patent Information Centers (PIP and PATLIB) Operating Nationwide”

Workshop promoted by the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy – Directorate General for Industrial Property (UIBM) and the PATLIB Center of Venice-Treviso

Within its institutional competencies, the DGPI-UIBM of MIMIT has long been engaged in spreading the culture of Industrial Property, especially during national sector trade fairs. Particular attention is given to events characterized by high innovation rates or strongly affected by counterfeiting.

One of the events where UIBM will participate in 2025 is the Venice Boat Show, where the Directorate General will have its own stand (Nappa 90 – Stand 09), aimed at providing exhibitors and visitors with information, assistance, and support on Industrial Property matters.

In addition to on-site activities at the stand and among exhibitors, a workshop has been planned as part of the trade fair’s conference program, in collaboration with the PATLIB of Treviso-Venice, the Venice Chamber of Commerce, and the Guardia di Finanza.
