EPIPA

The Platform for Formalities Officers is actively involved in EPIPA, the European umbrella organization where national associations of Formalities Officers collaborate. National organizations are members of EPIPA, and their members are represented by a delegate in the EPIPA board. As a member of EPIPA, the Platform actively contributes to the international exchange of knowledge and experience in the field of intellectual property.

Through our close cooperation with EPIPA, the Platform is not only well-informed about developments at the European level but also provides input and represents the voice of Dutch Formalities Officers in the international arena. This connection strengthens our position as a professional group and offers our members direct access to a broader European network of colleagues.

Through EPIPA, we work together with other national organizations to raise awareness of the profession, share best practices, and improve the professional standard in our field. Additionally, members of the Platform and other national organizations can attend each other's events free of charge. This keeps the Platform closely involved with current developments and allows us to actively contribute to the future of the Formalities Officer profession — both nationally and across Europe.
