Without any second thoughts, the pandemic has indeed affected the Intellectual Property (IP) industry as well. IP Offices worldwide have begun implementing measures in the wake of the Coronavirus crisis. For instance:
When it comes to mass gatherings, various IP events have either been canceled or postponed in recent weeks, such as the IACC Annual Conference, the INTA Annual Meeting, the MARQUES Spring Meeting, and ICANN’s Mexico Meeting.
As the novel Coronavirus is spreading to an increasing number of nations worldwide, it is likely for more national IP offices to come up with new measures to offset the impact.
