Azerbaijan to Establish Electronic IP Rights

Azerbaijan to Establish Electronic IP Rights Registration System

Azerbaijan has formed a special working group whose duty will be to establish an electronic system for registration of intellectual property rights.

The group will function within the frames of the Azerbaijani State Committee on Standardization, Metrology and Patents, and the project will be supported by the Korean government’s USD 4.2 million (EUR 3.2 million) grant.

The Azerbaijani State Committee on Standardization, Metrology and Patents signed the agreement with the Korean Foreign Affairs and Trade Ministry on October 11, 2011, with an aim to secure a stable IP registration system in Azerbaijan.
