Dear IP Office Authority,
Dear IP Office Participant,
The WIPO Academy IP eLearning program invites you to enroll in the IP
eLearning advanced courses. The WIPO Academy aims to enhance your
knowledge and skills in intellectual property related topics.
We are pleased to provide you with the Registration Guide (herewith
attached).
1. Please note that IP office Staff may enroll for up to two courses in a
session (this year, there may be only one tutor-led session). The
candidate must complete the courses in the session for which they register
as this offer is made on a scholarship basis.
2. The general deadline for registrations is March 22, 2026. Please note
that the WIPO Academy’s IP eLearning courses enroll a limited number of
participants. Therefore, we would like to give priority to IP Offices so
we strongly suggest that you submit your registration by March 15, 2026 in
order to benefit from a priority entry.
3. Each IP office candidate enrolls on-line on the “WIPO eLearning Center”
<https://welc.wipo.int/> https://welc.wipo.int/
4. All candidates must create a WIPO Account prior to enrolling. First
time enrollees will be prompted to create a WIPO user Account. Returnees
will be prompted to recall their password, but if they do not recall, they
may reset their passwords.
5. IMPORTANT: Candidates should select “National IP OFFICE” as her/his
“Professional/Business Area” under Occupation section; (without the
selection of ‘IP OFFICE’ it would not be possible to offer the course on a
scholarship basis.
6. Each designated candidate should indicate in the field "E-mail Address
of the Director of your IP Office" the e-mail address of the
Head/Coordinator of the respective IP OFFICE. After submitting the on-line
registration, the authority will automatically receive a letter notifying
him or her that an IP OFFICE member has registered.
For the IP OFFICE Authority
The Academy recommends that you prepare all IP Office candidates for the
requirements of completion and time commitment that is required. If your
IP Office enrollees have submitted their enrollment request correctly and
put your email address correctly, you will receive several notifications
and a sample letter that you may send to the Academy recommending each
candidate. For more efficiency, we strongly suggest to send us the sample
letter (which can be adapted by an authorized person) as one letter for
several candidates accompanied with a list of those who already
registered. Please return the attached IP OFFICE candidates list table,
duly completed, to ensure that all candidates’ applications are processed
at the same time.
Note: The IP OFFICE is requested to guarantee that each candidate
completes the course. Kindly be informed that in case of incompletion or
unsuccessful completion of the course, the scholarship will not be
re-granted for the same course and the same staff member.
This letter should be sent by March 15, 2026, to [email-masked]; with a CC:
to Ms. Altaye Tedla, Director, IP eLearning and Internal Training Program,
([email-masked]) and to Mr. Jean-Jacques Bureyega (ELearning IT
Solutions Manager), ([email-masked] )
We remain at your disposal to assist you with any query and/or
clarifications you might have regarding the above.

The WIPO Academy is looking forward to your prospective participation.
