OHIM seeks input on 2020 vision

Stakeholders and the general public have until February 23 to make suggestions on OHIM’s goals for the next five years

The Office is holding a consultation on its second strategic plan (the first covered 2011 to 2015). Work on the consultation began last year with the OHIM staff, as well as members and observers of the Administrative Board and Budget Committee.

This led to a set of draft guiding principles and an outline plan.

Contributions must be made by February 23 and can be sent to the Office by email. The Strategic Plan 2020 will be published later this year.
