I know a little about the abbreviation of the World Intellectual Property Organization, but I need to know something more specific?
WIPO, headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, is one of the 16 specialized agencies in the United Nations system. It manages 24 international treaties involving all aspects of intellectual property protection (16 on industrial property rights, 7 on copyright, plus the convention establishing the World Intellectual Property Organization). As of June 15th, 27, there are 184 member countries. China and the World Intellectual Property Organization 1. China and China, the World Intellectual Property Organization, joined the organization on June 3, 198 and became its 9th member. China acceded to the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property Rights in 1985, the Madrid Agreement for the International Registration of Trademarks in 1989, the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works in October 1992 and the Patent Cooperation Treaty on January 1, 1994. By January 1999, China had acceded to 12 treaties under the jurisdiction of the organization. On July 31, 28, the World Intellectual Property Organization published the 28 World Patent Report in Geneva, saying that the number of patent applications in the world reached 1.76 million in 26, an increase of 4.9% over 25. The growth of patent applications in China, South Korea and the United States has promoted the growth of patent applications in the world. The report believes that the increase in the number of patent applications in the world confirms that innovation activities are increasingly international. According to the report, in 26, there were 514,47 patent applications in Japan, 39,815 in the United States, 172,79 in South Korea, 13,86 in Germany and 128,85 in China. Due to the significant increase in the number of patent applications filed in China, China's share in the total number of patent applications in the world has greatly increased. From 2 to 26, China's share has increased from 1.8% to 7.3%. Between 25 and 26, the total number of patent applications filed by China, South Korea and the United States increased by 32.1%, 6.6% and 6.7% respectively. 2. China's intellectual property protection legislation: In addition, China's intellectual property protection legislation has also made great progress: (1) Patent Law. China's patent law came into force on April 1, 1985. The patent system established according to law protects the patent right of invention and creation. Inventions include inventions, utility models and designs. (2) Trademark Law. China's trademark law came into force in March 1985. On February 22, 1993, it was amended to expand the scope of trademark protection, and to add provisions on the registration and management of service trademarks in addition to commodity trademarks; In the formal review, the correction procedure was added, and in the substantive review, the review opinion system was established. (3) Copyright Law. China's copyright law came into force on June 1, 1991. It was amended in October 21. (4), computer software protection regulations. On January 1, 22, the Regulations on the Protection of Computer Software was implemented. (5) Protection system for new plant varieties. China's regulations on the protection of new plant varieties came into effect on October 1, 1997. The General Principles of the People's Republic of China and the Civil Law stipulates six types of intellectual property rights, namely copyright, patent right, trademark right, right of discovery, right of invention and other scientific and technological achievements, and stipulates the civil law protection system of intellectual property rights. In the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, the relevant contents of intellectual property crimes are also determined in section 7 with eight articles, thus determining the criminal law protection system of intellectual property rights in China. In addition, separate laws and administrative regulations such as the Patent Law of the People's Republic of China, the Trademark Law, the Copyright Law, and the Regulations on Invention Awards also stipulate relevant intellectual property rights. 3. White Paper on Intellectual Property Protection in China: On June 16, 1994, the white paper on Intellectual Property Protection in China was published in three parts: 1. China's basic position and attitude on intellectual property protection; Second, China has a high-level legal system to protect intellectual property rights; Three, China has a complete law enforcement system for the protection of intellectual property rights. The white paper said that the China government's sincere stance of abiding by relevant international conventions and bilateral agreements on intellectual property protection and its ability to fully undertake international obligations have been widely praised and supported by international public opinion. At the conclusion of the white paper, it pointed out that there are always some people in the world who turn a blind eye to the development and changes in China, disregard the basic facts and make wild comments on the current situation of intellectual property protection in China. There is no need to argue about this argument. Facts are the best answer. Second, the history of the World Intellectual Property Organization: The roots of the World Intellectual Property Organization can be traced back to 1883. In 1883, the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property was born. This is the first important international treaty aimed at protecting the intellectual creation of one country's citizens in other countries. The manifestations of these intellectual creations are industrial property rights, that is, inventions (patents), trademarks and industrial designs. The Paris Convention came into force in 1884, when there were 14 member countries, and an international bureau was established to perform administrative tasks, such as holding meetings of member countries. In 1886, with the conclusion of Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, copyright stepped onto the international stage. The purpose of this convention is to protect the rights of nationals of its member countries internationally, so as to control the use of their creative works and collect remuneration. The forms of these creative works are: novels, short stories, poems and dramas; Songs, operas, musical works and sonatas; And paintings, oil paintings, sculptures and architectural works. Like the Paris Convention, the Berne Convention also established an international bureau to carry out administrative tasks. In 1893, these two small international bureaus merged to form an international organization called the Joint International Bureau for the Protection of Intellectual Property Rights (BIRPI). This small organization was located in Bern, Switzerland, with only seven staff members at that time, which is the predecessor of today's World Intellectual Property Organization, a dynamic entity with 184 member countries and about 938 staff members from 95 countries around the world, and shouldering expanding missions and tasks. With the increasing importance of intellectual property rights, the structure and form of this organization have also changed. In 196, BIRPI moved from Bern to Geneva to be closer to the United Nations and other international organizations in the city. On July 14th, 1967, 51 members of the International Union for the Protection of Industrial Property (Paris Union) and the International Union for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (Berne Union) jointly established the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in Stockholm, Sweden, in order to further promote the protection of intellectual property all over the world and strengthen cooperation among countries and intellectual property organizations. After 197, the Convention on the Establishment of the World Intellectual Property Organization came into force; After institutional and administrative reforms and the establishment of a secretariat responsible to member States, the Joint International Bureau for the Protection of Intellectual Property Rights became the World Intellectual Property Organization. In 1974, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) became a specialized agency of the United Nations organization system, shouldering the task of managing intellectual property affairs, which was recognized by United Nations Member States. The World Intellectual Property Organization, the World Trade Organization and UNESCO are the three most important international organizations that manage intellectual property treaties (the latter two international organizations are not specialized agencies for intellectual property rights). The World Intellectual Property Organization is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, and has a liaison office in the United Nations Building in new york, USA. In 1978, the secretariat of WIPO moved into the headquarters building. In 1996, the World Intellectual Property Organization signed a cooperation agreement with the World Trade Organization (WTO), which expanded its role in global trade management and further proved the importance of intellectual property rights. III. Purpose of the World Intellectual Property Organization: The purpose of the World Intellectual Property Organization is: (1) to promote the protection of intellectual property rights throughout the world through cooperation between countries and, if necessary, cooperation with other international organizations; (2) Ensure the administrative cooperation among intellectual property alliances. The organization manages a series of intellectual property treaties, including the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works and the Convention for the Protection of Producers of Phonograms from Unauthorized Reproduction of Their Phonograms. Functions of the World Intellectual Property Organization: The main functions of the organization are to promote the protection of intellectual property rights around the world through cooperation between countries, manage the administrative work of 23 alliances on patents, trademarks and copyrights based on multilateral treaties, and handle intellectual property legal and administrative matters. A large part of the organization's financial resources are used for development cooperation with developing countries, promoting technology transfer from developed countries to developing countries, and promoting inventions and literary and artistic creation activities in developing countries, so as to facilitate their scientific, technological, cultural and economic development. 4. World Intellectual Property Organization Convention: The World Intellectual Property Organization Convention and the Convention for the Establishment of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO Convention) stipulate that the membership of the World Intellectual Property Organization is open to the following countries: (i) any country that is a member of the Paris Union for the Protection of Industrial Property or the Berne Union for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works; (ii) Any country that is a member of the United Nations or any specialized agency of the United Nations, or a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency or a party to the Statute of the International Court of Justice; And (iii) any country that has become a member of the World Intellectual Property Organization at the invitation of the General Assembly. Therefore, only countries can become members of the World Intellectual Property Organization. V. WIPO treaties: The treaties adopted by WIPO are divided into three categories. A.
