C. M 1543 September 1, 2026
Madam,
Sir,
I have the pleasure to inform you that the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is
organizing a series of six Online Webinars on the 2026 Edition of the WIPO Examination
Guidelines Concerning the Classification of Goods and Services in International Applications
Under the Madrid System, to be held from October 22 to November 26, 2026. Each Webinar
will be delivered in one of the six official United Nations languages: English, Arabic,
Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish.
The Webinars will be conducted virtually via the Zoom platform and are intended for both
staff of Intellectual Property Offices and Madrid System users.
The primary objective of the Webinar series is to enhance awareness and practical
understanding of the WIPO Classification Guidelines, improve the quality and consistency of
the Classification of Goods and Services in international applications, foster greater
convergence of classification practices among Offices, and contribute to more predictable
and harmonized examination outcomes for both Offices and Madrid System users.
Each Webinar will provide practical guidance on the application of the Guidelines and offer
participants an opportunity to exchange views with WIPO experts through a dedicated
question-and-answer session.
./. A schedule of the Webinars, together with the corresponding registration links, is attached for
your convenience.
Should you require any additional information, please contact the Secretariat at:
[email protected].
Yours sincerely,
Wang Binying
Deputy Director General
