The DL courses are considered to be the primary avenue to establish the capability development of all technical experts of the ITSOs. Among the DL Courses taken were:

  • DL101 - General Course on Intellectual Property
  • DL301 – Advanced Course on Patent
  • DL318 – Advanced Course on Patent Information Search
  • DL320 – Advanced Course on Patent Drafting
  • DL450 - Advanced Course on Intellectual Property Management

The DL courses require participants to attend both online and offline activities. Each course has mandatory number of days of personal study performed in campus and off-campus at the pace of the participants. After the duration of the course, all participants are required to take the international exam for each course. Participants who passed the international certification may only receive the coveted certificate for each course from WIPO. For those who failed the exam, they are not provided with the certificate for the entire duration of the DL course to the disadvantage of the participants!
