ACIPP is a professional Arabic program offering advanced teaching and training for Arab practitioners. It aims to provide an easier understanding of modern principles that govern IP, as well as access to knowledge and international developments, so that the practitioner may be able to provide his/her services in line with international standards.
The program is comprised of four courses:
Module 1: Introduction to Intellectual Property
Module 2: Trademarks and Unfair Competition
Module 3: Copyrights and Related Rights
Module 4: Patents of Inventions and Trade Secrets
Upon the completion of each course, students will sit for a final examination. Upon successful passing of the examination, they will receive a certificate. When a student passes final examinations in the Modules, she will be granted the full Arab Certified Intellectual Property Practitioner Certificate.
