Dear IP Office Authority,

Dear IP Office Participant,

On behalf of Mr. Saadallah, Executive Director of the WIPO Academy, we would like to invite you to enroll in the WIPO Academy Distance Learning (DL) Courses. The WIPO Academy aims to enhance your knowledge and skills in intellectual property related topics.

We are pleased to provide you with the Registration Guide (herewith attached).

1. Please note that IP office Staff may enroll for up to two courses in each session (there are two sessions). However, the candidate must complete the courses in the session for which they register as this offer is made on a scholarship basis.

2. The general deadline for registrations is August 28, 2024. Please note that the WIPO Academyâ€™s Distance Learning courses enroll a limited number of participants. Therefore, we would like to give priority to IP Offices so we strongly suggest that you submit your registration by August 23, 2024 in order to benefit from a priority entry.

3. Each IP office candidate enrolls on-line on the â€œWIPO eLearning Centerâ€ https://welc.wipo.int/

4. All candidates must create a WIPO User Centre Account prior to enrolling. First time enrollees will be prompted to create a WIPO user Account. Returnees will be prompted to recall their password, but if they do not recall, they may reset their passwords.

5. IMPORTANT: Candidates should select â€œNational IP OFFICEâ€ as her/his â€œProfessional/Business Areaâ€ under Occupation section; (without the selection of â€˜IP OFFICEâ€™ it would not be possible to offer the course on a scholarship basis.

6. Each designated candidate should indicate in the field "E-mail Address of the Director of your IP Office" the e-mail address of the Head/Coordinator of the respective IP OFFICE. After submitting the on-line registration, the authority will automatically receive a letter notifying him or her that an IP OFFICE member has registered.

For the IP OFFICE Authority

The Academy recommends that you prepare all IP Office candidates for the requirements of completion and time commitment that is required. If your IP Office enrollees have submitted their enrollment request correctly and put your email address correctly, you will receive several notifications and a sample letter that you may send to the Academy recommending each candidate. For more efficiency, we strongly suggest to send us the sample letter (which can be adapted by an authorized person) as one letter for several candidates accompanied with a list of those who already registered. Please return the attached IP OFFICE candidates list table, duly completed, to ensure that all candidatesâ€™ applications are processed at the same time.

Note: The IP OFFICE is requested to guarantee that each candidate completes the course. Kindly be informed that in case of incompletion or unsuccessful completion of the course, the scholarship will not be re-granted for the same course and the same staff member.

This letter should be sent by August 23, 2024, to [email protected]; with a CC: to Ms. Altaye Tedla, Head of DL, ([email protected] )

We remain at your disposal to assist you with any query and/or clarifications you might have regarding the above.

The WIPO Academy is looking forward to your prospective participation.

WIPO Academy Distance Learning Courses

Introduction

All eLearning courses offered by the WIPO Academy can be found on the course catalog at https://welc.wipo.int. The courses offered are subject to change at any time without prior notice.

Prior to Registration

All potential users of the WIPO Academy eLearning courses must first register with the WIPO Accounts. The aim of the WIPO Accounts is to enable users (learners) to create and update authentication credentials required to access WIPO web applications, including the Academy’s eLearning Platform (WeLC), information resources and services accessible from the Internet. The main advantage of registering with WIPO Accounts is that the user will maintain the same single username and password for accessing all future Academy eLearning courses. Registering for an account with the WIPO Accounts is a simple process. The only constraint being that each user needs a unique email address. To create an account with the WIPO Accounts via the Academy’s eLearning Platform (WeLC) https://welc.wipo.int/ as part of the course registration process, please see pages 3-4. NB: Applicants who have previously enrolled in WIPO Academy courses and who have created WIPO Accounts may proceed to register by following the steps outlined in pages 5-10. IMPORTANT In order to protect the integrity of your personal student profile, please remember to LOG OUT of the WeLC when you leave the eLearning platform and then close your browser.
