The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) was established in April 1970, and became a specialized agency of the United Nations in April/974, responsible for international cooperation in industrial property rights, copyright and trademark registration.

At present, there are more than 20 international treaties managed by the World Intellectual Property Organization.
