WIPO
The
World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is the United
Nations agency dedicated to the use of intellectual
property (patents, copyright, trademarks, designs, etc.) as a means of stimulating innovation and creativity.
World Intellectual Property Day is annually organized on 26th April
every year.
WIPO's Strategic Goals
WIPO's
strategic goals were adopted by member states in December 2009 which reflect
the evolving challenges for WIPO and for intellectual property in today’s
rapidly changing environment:
Ø Balanced Evolution of the International Normative Framework
for IP
Ø Provision of Premier Global IP Services
Ø Facilitating the Use of IP for Development
Ø Coordination and Development of Global IP Infrastructure
Ø World Reference Source for IP Information and Analysis
Ø International Cooperation on Building Respect for IP
Ø Addressing IP in Relation to Global Policy Issues
Ø A Responsive Communications Interface between WIPO, its
Member States and All Stakeholders
Unlike
WIPO treaties, the TRIPS Agreement includes powerful enforcement mechanisms
such as trade sanctions and litigation before the World Court that force countries into compliance
with the provisions in the agreement.
NIPO

intellectual superpowers. NIPO's mandate includes
