The Secretary General also reaffirmed the Organization’s commitment “to work with IMPI in supporting the efforts of the countries of the Americas so they may benefit from their intangible assets and innovation in a way that allows them to increase productivity and create sustainable, high-quality jobs in the most dynamic sectors of our economies.”
For his part, the Director of IMPI asserted that the signing of this document “is a key element in being present in the Americas with the backing of the OAS, because of its infrastructure and strength.”
Also present at the ceremony were the Ambassador of Mexico to the White House, Arturo Sarukhan; the Permanente Representative of Mexico to the OAS, Gustavo Albin; the OAS Executive Secretary for Integral Development, Ambassador Alfonso Quiñonez; the Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property Affairs and Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), David Kappos; and the President of the International Intellectual Property Institute (IIPI), Bruce Lehman.
