Researching Trademark & Unfair Competition Law: WIPO

The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations dedicated to developing "a balanced and effective international IP system." This free source provides access to WIPO's collection of searchable IP data. It includes law and treaties, patent and trademark classifications, WIPO standards, and additional materials.

WIPO Lex Database includes: regional and national IP laws and regulations; WIPO-administered treaties and IP‑related treaties; and IP judgments that researchers can browse by jurisdiction.

WIPO states that WIPO Magazine "allows you to explore the latest hot topics in the world of IP and to discover how inventors, creators and entrepreneurs are using IP to advance their goals." WIPO highlights recent articles on WIPO Magazine's home page. Example: "Upcycling, Sustainability, and IP: What It Means for the World of Fashion."
