It's main objective is to "to encourage creative activity and to promote the protection of intellectual property throughout the world".

In a nutshell, what it does is that the WIPO, as part of the United Nations, exists as a forum for its member states to create and harmonize rules and practices to protect intellectual property rights.

Most industrialized nations have protection systems that are centuries old. Many new and developing countries, however, are now building up their patent, trademark, and copyright laws and systems. With the rapid globalization of trade during the last decade,

WIPO plays a key role in helping these new systems evolve through treaty negotiation, registration, and enforcement. legal and technical assistance and training in various forms, including : the enforcement of intellectual property rights. WIPO also provides global registration systems for patents, trademarks, and industrial designs.
