The closing ceremony of the academic year for the “Patents” and the “Trademarks and Industrial Designs”diplomas took place on 26 June 2026 with the traditional Results Announcement Ceremony followed by the farewell reception gathering some of the lecturers, students and the CEIPI management and team.
This year, the best students were awarded prizes donated by CEIPI and ASPI - Les Spécialistes en Propriété Intellectuelle de l'Industrie.
This ceremony also provided an opportunity to pay tribute to Maria Schmitt, a Training Assistant in the French Section, who, after many years at CEIPI, will be retiring at the end of this academic year!
We extend our heartfelt thanks to her for her work and dedication over so many years, as well as our warmest congratulations to the Class of 2025–2026! We wish them every success in their future careers and welcome them to the CEIPI family.
