User Involvement

Lead Office

EUIPO JPO

The aim of the project is to establish a coherent and consistent user involvement in the TM5 forum, notably through the involvement of users in TM5 Midterm and Annual Meetings, workshops and collaboration projects. Users involvement benefits imply increased awareness of the TM5 work, the user perspective being integrated into TM5 projects/ initiatives for increased efficiency, and better addressing issues of global interest with users.
