TECHNICAL COOPERATION ACTIVITIES: INFORMATION FROM  
OTHER INTERGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS 
WORLD INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ORGANIZATION (WIPO) 
Addendum 
At its meeting of 11-12 June 2013, the Council for TRIPS agreed to invite intergovernmental 
organization observers to the Council to update the information on their technical and financial cooperation programmes relating to the implementation of the TRIPS Agreement.  
The present document reproduces the information which has been received from the World 
Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) by means of a communication dated 2 October 2013. 
 
_______________ 
 
NOTE ON TECHNICAL AND LEGAL ASSISTANCE  OF THE WORLD INTE LLECTUAL PROPERTY 
ORGANIZATION (WIPO) RELEVANT TO TH E IMPLEMENTATION OF THE AGREEMENT  
ON TRADE-RELATED ASPECTS OF IN TELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS  
(THE TRIPS AGREEMENT) 
PREPARED BY THE INTERNATIONAL BUREAU OF THE WIPO 
18 SEPTEMBER 2013 
 
1.1.  The present note has been prepared by th e World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), 
pursuant to the invitation of the Chair of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Council for TRIPS of 
7 August 2013, to provide updated information on its technical, legal and financial cooperation 
programmes relevant to the implementation of  the TRIPS Agreement for the meeting of the 
Council for TRIPS scheduled for 10 and 11 October 2013. 
1.2.  TRIPS-related legal assistance and technical cooperation activities and programmes managed 
by WIPO fall within the framework of the prov isions of the Agreement between WIPO and WTO 
which entered into force on 1 January 1996. Since then, WIPO has responded to requests received 
from developing countries and least developed countries (LDCs) by providing extensive legal and 
technical assistance. It is recalled that the WIPO-WTO Agreement was later complemented by two joint initiatives launched by the Directors-General of the two Organizations in July 1998 and in 
June 2001, respectively. These initiatives fu rther reinforced the commitment of the two 
Organizations to provide necessary advice and assistance to developing countries and LDCs relating to the implementation of the TRIPS Agreement. 
1.3.  In the period October 2012 to August 2013, WIPO has continued to provide legal-technical 
assistance to developing countries and LDCs in support of their efforts in implementing obligations deriving from the TRIPS Agreement and within the context of WIPO's Results Framework as 
approved by WIPO member states. WIPO, therefore, continued to assist countries in developing IP/C/W/591/Add.5 
 
- 2 - 
 
  and implementing strategies and policies aimed at creating, protecting, managing and exploiting IP 
for economic, social and cultural development. WIPO also strengthened its assistance to help countries in integrating IP into overall national development and public policy in areas such as health, trade, education, research, technology transfer and competition policies, including advising 
countries on the flexibilities available under international IP treaties, and in particular the TRIPS 
Agreement. 
1.4.  WIPO Lex, the Organization's on-line database of intellectual property legislation and treaties, 
developed also for the benefit of TRIPS implementation, is another tool of legal assistance on 
intellectual property matters. It provides free and universal access to global IP legal information, while offering the most comprehensive coverage of the main IP and IP-related laws and regulations of 195 countries (members of WIPO, WTO and/or UN). The database is available in 
English, Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish. Besides national laws and regulations, 
WIPO Lex features some 170 multilateral and 500 bilateral IP-related treaties. The database is an efficient tool for comparative analysis helping to develop legal and economic strategies. 
1.5.  The Annex to this document provides a list of the relevant activities undertaken by WIPO in 
the period October 2012 to August 2013. This informat ion is also publicly available on the WIPO IP 
Technical Assistance Database (IP-TAD) at the following link: ( http://www.wipo.int/tad/en/ ) and in 
the WIPO Country Profiles ( http://www.wipo.int/directory/en/ ).
