At the heart of the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) lie its 194 Member States, the nations that collectively set the organisation’s goals, budget, and operations. These states are more than just members; they are the architects of WIPO’s mission to safeguard creativity and innovation across borders.
What is WIPO?
The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is a United Nations agency that supports innovators and creators worldwide, making sure that their ideas are safely commercialised and enhance people’s lives everywhere.
