Cambodia and the United
States of America have reached a cooperation agreement on acceleration of
patent processing.
The agreement was inked
recently through a virtual event co-led by Cham Prasidh, Senior Minister and
Minister of Industry, Science, Technology and Innovation and Andrei Iancu,
Director of United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in Washington,
D.C. under the witness of Patrick Murphy, U.S. Ambassador to Cambodia.
Both sides spoke highly
of the joint effort to reach the agreement expected to attract more U.S.
investors to Cambodia.
Patrick Murphy underlined
the long-lasting relations between Cambodia and the U.S., adding that this year
is the 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
The virtual event is
another move to further boost Cambodia’s economic growth and the confidence of
U.S. investors to come to Cambodia, continued the U.S. diplomat.
The U.S. will circulate
this cooperation via the website and other channels to reach the potential U.S.
investors.
By far, the Ministry of
Industry, Science, Technology and Innovation has secured such patent
cooperation with countries and bloc such as Singapore, Japan, South Korea,
China and European Union. Lim Nary – AKP
