On November 25, 2020, one of the most significant events in the field of intellectual property in Ukraine took place - the VII International Forum on Intellectual Property (IPF - 2020).
Michael Doubinsky, Managing Partner of Doubinsky & Osharova, moderated Session 1, which was devoted to discussion of Ukraine's place on the IP map of the world.
The idea of the session was to present a 360° overview of the situation in the field of protection of intellectual property rights in Ukraine:
- WIPO Global Innovation Index - why Ukraine is exactly where it is: a Geneva perspective?
- The EU viewpoint on IPR: a Brussels perspective;
- Special 301 Report and its impact on our country: a Washington perspective;
- How do foreign partners and investors assess the state of IP: an inside look;
- Ukraine from the perspective of global manufacturers: a view from the outside

Sacha Wunsch-Vincent, Head of Section, Economics and Statistics Division, co-editor of The Global Innovation Index (GII) at the World Intellectual Property Organization;
