One of the cooperation programmes carried out by the OEPM is the Ibero-American Training Programme on Searches and Technological Information (CIBIT), which has been held annually at its headquarters for almost 25 years. This Programme is aimed at Ibero-American patent examiners who, tutored by examiners from the OEPM Patent Department, receive training in the methodology of searches in the different documentary databases and in familiarisation with technological information services so that they can promote this type of activity in their Offices of origin. This year the participants come from 4 countries (finally one of them, Peru, could not attend due to visa problems), and it is estimated that the stay will last from September to December 2022.
