On Wednesday, April 23, 2025, in cooperation with the Regional Chamber of Commerce Kraljevo, a lecture was held at the School of Textile and Leather Design in Novi Pazar by representatives of the Intellectual Property Office on the topic “Protection of Intellectual Property Rights in the Textile and Leather Industry”.
Among the participants of this event were representatives of business entities from the Raška District, teaching staff and students of a school that educates high school students in the field of design in various areas of industry, from the textile and leather industries to interior design.
During the lecture, the concept of intellectual property rights protection was presented with the focus on protection of industrial property rights, especially trademarks and industrial design. Through discussions with the participants, as well as according to the school principal, this topic, which they recognized as important for the educational profiles of their school, has not been given much attention in the curricula so far, and they believe that it can be useful for businessmen in these areas of industry.
After the lecture, representatives of the Institute and the Kraljevo Industrial Complex also visited the student workshop where, as a practical part of the teaching , the students themselves make models of clothing items, accessories and other items that they have designed themselves.
