The FICPI Academy, supported by the Training & Education Committee, promotes training and education of FICPI members, potential members and others interested in IP protection.
The FICPI Academy has primary responsibility for devising the content for the working sessions at FICPI’s educational meetings such as its Open Forums and symposia. In this respect, it collaborates closely with the Study & Work Committee (CET) and the Practice Management Committee (PMC). The Academy supervises FICPI's webinar programmes.
The FICPI Academy also runs the SEAD™ Courses on patent drafting in Southeast Asia, Europe and recently Latin America.
Under FICPI’s strategic plan, the committee is also looking at measures for providing training and education to potential members in countries and regions where the profession is less well developed. The president of the committee is elected by the EXCO, and its members are chosen by its president after consultation with the Bureau.
