WIPO manages 26 contracts, including the WIPO Agreement. WIPO`s two main objectives are (i) the promotion of intellectual property protection around the world; and (ii) to ensure administrative cooperation between the IP unions created by WIPO treaties. The first general group of contracts sets internationally recognized basic standards for intellectual property protection (IP) in each country. The third and final general category is classification contracts, which create classification systems that organize information on inventions, brands and industrial models in indexed and manageable structures for simple consultation. To achieve these objectives, WIPO conducts, in addition to carrying out the administrative tasks of trade unions, a number of activities, including: (i) normative activities involving the establishment of standards and standards for the protection and respect of intellectual property rights through the conclusion of international treaties; (ii) program activities involving legal and technical assistance to states in the area of intellectual property; (iii) international classification and standardization activities involving cooperation between industrial property offices in documenting patent, trademark and industrial design designs; and (iv) registration and filing activities related to services related to international patent applications for inventions and registration of industrial trademarks and designs. WIPO membership is open to any member state of one of the trade unions and any other state that fulfils one of the following conditions: (i) it is a member of the United Nations, one of the relations with the United Nations or the International Atomic Energy Agency; (ii) it is a party to the status of the International Court of Justice; or (iii) she was invited by the WIPO General Assembly to become a party to the convention. WIPO membership does not impose any obligation on other contracts managed by WIPO. WIPO membership is achieved through the tabling of an instrument for accession to the WIPO Convention with the Director General of WIPO. The second general group, global protection contracts, ensures that an international registration or deposit is effective in one of the signatory states concerned. The services provided by WIPO under these contracts simplify and reduce the costs of filing individual applications or applications in all countries where protection is required for a given IP fee.
