On 14 February 2017 our Lisbon office welcomed 24 graduate students in Law and ICT (information and communication technologies) at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands for a one day workshop organized by SGCR.

The topics focused by various SGCR speakers were intellectual property in Portugal, the IP national and international legal framework, with a particular focus on patents, utility models, trademarks, appellations of origin and means of enforcement.

The work was followed by an interesting presentation and tasting of Portuguese wines and cheeses with appellation of origin.
