Judicial Capacity Building: Enforcing Intellectual Property Laws Workshop

-
Panelists underline the importance of enforcing IP laws.

In response to needs expressed by the BiH government, the BiH business community, and the BiH legal community, CLDP organized a program on investigation and adjudication of intellectual property infringement cases. The participants of the workshop, held in Sarajevo in November 2009, included 35 judges and prosecutors representing the various entities within BiH, including the Federation of BiH, Republika Srpska and Brèko District as well as representatives from state police and customs officials. The four-day workshop in Sarajevo took place at the Public Institution Centre for Judicial and Prosecutorial Training of FBiH and focused on practical and efficient training in IP adjudication skills through the use of country-specific case studies. The objective of the program is to help create, over the next two years, a critical mass of BiH judges, prosecutors, state police and customs officials trained in the enforcement of IP laws and to help produce predictable, harmonized and efficient adjudication of IP infringement cases across BiH.
