As Ukraine continues to navigate through turmoil, the support from European Institutions such as the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) remains crucial. Amidst the backdrop of conflict, the protection of IP rights sends a powerful message of hope and resilience to Ukrainian creators, innovators, and entrepreneurs. It validates the significance of their work and their vital contributions to the nation’s recovery and future growth.

In times of turmoil, the protection of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) may not immediately appear as a priority. However, as Ukraine navigates through the complexities of war, the safeguarding of these rights emerges as a key for its economic stability, recovery, and future prosperity.

The EUIPO has played an important role in this arena, from day one. Find out how the EUIPO is helping Ukraine stand tall https://www.euipo.europa.eu/en/news/ukraine-two-years-on
