The Bureau for Intellectual Property BIP SXM, in collaboration with the Patent Office, subdivision of the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (NEA) partnered for the St. Maarten Innovation, Initiatives and Industries Link-Up Event (SMILE) 2019 held at University of St. Martin recently.
BIP Director Vincentia Rosen-Sandiford gave two workshops at SMILE about the services offered by BIP SXM and Intellectual Property (IP) rights in St. Maarten, with a focus on trademarks and copyright. Representatives of NEA Greta van Bemmelen (Senior IP Advisor) and Hans Helsloot (Senior IP Advisor), from the Netherlands, also did two workshops on patents and their applicability in the Dutch Kingdom which includes St. Maarten. About 200,000 patents are valid in the Dutch Kingdom of the Netherlands. Photo shows Rosen-Sandiford speaking to attendees at one of the workshops.
