The EUIPO is calling upon all stakeholders to help guide the Office’s strategic priorities up until 2025. Full details here.
An important aim of the EUIPO Strategic Plan 2025 (SP2025) will be to help companies to gain full benefit from their innovation and creativity, whether in Europe or the global marketplace, having regard to technological advances shaping business models.
Based on the achievements of the Office’s first two strategic plans, and, in particular, following the successful creation of the European Union Intellectual Property Network (EUIPN), we need to ensure this network is both sustainable and able to respond to the globalisation of the marketplace, the rise of e-commerce, and the threat of IP infringements, which frequently has a cross-border dimension.
Overall, the Office needs to ensure it is an attractive and reliable entry point to IP protection covering a broad range of IP rights. It should develop into an IP excellence hub providing high quality public service making European businesses more competitive in an ever more global and digital environment.
The forces of globalisation, technological change, and the rapidly changing world of work are all factors that need to be considered. Navigating this complex landscape successfully will require partnership between public and private stakeholders at the national, EU and global levels in order to anticipate, and prepare for the future.
Consequently, SP2025 will focus on adding value to the internal market; on ensuring the effectiveness of the IP system for the benefit of European businesses (with an emphasis on SMEs) and citizens; and on contributing to the creation of jobs and economic growth, in alignment with the EU’s priorities.
The overall aim of SP2025 will be to create Added Value and Growth for the benefit of EU citizens, businesses and IP stakeholders.
Three strategic drivers are provided to support an effective consultation process:
Strategic Driver 1: Interconnected, Effective and Reliable IP System
Please provide ideas, suggestions and comments for SP2025, focusing in particular on how the Office can sustain and extend the harmonisation of tools and practices that has been achieved via the EUIPN and better address the needs of EU businesses. Proposals on how the Office can make further progress on expanding the benefits of this harmonisation globally are also welcome. You should also take the opportunity to make suggestions regarding any other strategic action the Office could take in order to support an interconnected, effective and reliable IP system.
Strategic Driver 2: Customer Centric IP Services
Please provide ideas, suggestions and comments for SP2025, focusing in particular on how the Office can encourage SMEs to enhance their competitiveness through better use of IP rights. You are also welcome to make suggestions regarding any other strategic action the Office could take in order to support customer centric services. Some sample questions are given below.
Strategic Driver 3: Dynamic Organisational Skillsets and Effective Support to Operations
Please provide ideas, suggestions and comments for SP2025 focusing in particular on how new technology will affect the future of work and how the Office should respond to this.

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
