Campinos deputy in line for EUIPO helm
A European Council committee has proposed that the former deputy director of the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), Christian Archambeau, should succeed António Campinos as head of the office.
On Friday, July 13, the Permanent Representatives Committee, which is responsible for preparing the work of the Council, voted to recommend Archambeau as executive director.
The appointment is expected to be formalised in an upcoming Council meeting.
Archambeau has been serving as acting executive director of the EUIPO for the past month, since Campinos took the helm as president at the European Patent Office (EPO).
Archambeau served as the EUIPO’s deputy executive director for more than seven years, before which he served as principal director of human resources at the EPO.
