WIPO Again Commends CITS Terminology Project Results

Cooperation between Astrakhan Tatishchev State University and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) began in 2017 with the signing of a memorandum of understanding. For the past 5 years, staff members and MA students of CITS have been actively involved in replenishing the WIPO Pearl terminology database.

Here are the results of the project carried out by our students this spring: 88.6% of the submitted terms were approved for publication on the official website of the WIPO Pearl. According to WIPO experts, this is the best result in the entire history of cooperation between our university and this organization for the time being, which means that the staff and MA students of CITS continue to grow and develop their terminological skills and patent knowledge.

In the coming months, CITS trainers plan to hold a series of virtual meetings with WIPO experts to train and include a new cohort of MA students in the terminology project, and we hope that the work they are going to do on finding and selecting new terms will not only be as successful, but will surpass this year’s results.
