The World Intellectual Property Organization.

WIPO stands as an abbreviation of ‘The World Intellectual Property Organization, is an especially dedicated agency of the United Nations. It is dedicated to developing a balanced and accessible international intellectual property (IP) system, which while safeguarding the public interest also rewards creativity, stimulates innovation and contributes to the economic development. WIPO was established in 1967 by the WIPO Convention. Its headquarters are in Geneva, Switzerland.

In the year 1886, copyright entered the international arena with the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works to help nationals of its member States obtain international protection of their right to control, and receive payment for, the use of their creative works such as novels, short stories, poems, plays; songs, operas, musicals, sonatas; and drawings, paintings, sculptures, architectural works. Like the Paris Convention, the Berne Convention set up an International Bureau to carry out administrative tasks. In 1893, these two small bureaux united to form an international organization called the United International Bureau (BIRPI) for the Protection of Intellectual Property. The BIRPI indeed was the predecessor of the World Intellectual Property Organization.

With the growing importance of intellectual property, the structure and form of the Organization also changed. In 1960 BIRPI moved from Berne to Geneva to be closer to the United Nations and other international organizations in that city. A decade later, following the entry into force of the Convention.

Establishing the World Intellectual Property Organization, BIRPI became WIPO and in the year 1974, WIPO became a specialized agency of the United Nations system of organizations, with a mandate to administer intellectual property matters recognized by the member States of the UN.
