Explanation of terms of international protection system of intellectual property rights

The international protection system of intellectual property rights refers to a relatively unified international legal system based on multilateral international conventions and coordinated by intergovernmental international organizations.

The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) are two camps of international coordination of intellectual property rights. They promote the internationalization and integration of intellectual property protection by formulating and implementing their own international treaties, including the Paris Convention, the Berne Convention, the Patent Cooperation Treaty and the Agreement on Trade-related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights.

The existing international treaties on intellectual property involve all fields of intellectual property, and with the development of intellectual property system, its coverage and influence are gradually expanding. In the international environment of globalization and informationization, strengthening the international protection of intellectual property rights is not only an international obligation that China must fulfill when it joins several important international treaties on intellectual property rights, but also a development goal set by the national strategy and the need of economic construction.

Therefore, it is of great significance to comprehensively analyze the international protection system of intellectual property rights, strengthen the understanding of its present situation and development trend, and formulate corresponding countermeasures on this basis for actively implementing and implementing the national intellectual property strategy.
