"TISC" (CATI in french) typically stands for "Technology and Innovation Support Centers." These are initiatives by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) aimed at providing innovators, particularly in developing countries, with access to high-quality technology information and related services to support their innovation efforts.

TISCs offer various services, including patent searches, assistance with patent drafting and filing, training on intellectual property (IP) rights, technology transfer support, and access to databases and other IP-related resources.

The goal of TISCs is to promote innovation and technological development by enhancing the capacity of local innovators and entrepreneurs to protect and leverage their intellectual property rights.
