As a 'Specialized Agency' of the UN, the World Intellectual
Property Organization aims to be the premier global forum for
intellectual property services, policy, information and
cooperation. Whilst many individuals, firms, institutions and
governments know and use WIPO services, the ways in which it
functions, how priorities are set and decisions made are less
well-understood. Indeed, a diversity of WIPO's stakeholders and
member governments express frustration that WIPO's governance is
not only complex but at times opaque.This practical guide offers a
unique insight into how WIPO is governed, described in clear,
readily accessible terms for policymakers, scholars and
stakeholders. The guide reviews the origins of WIPO and sets out
its current functions and activities, presenting a framework for
analysing WIPO's complex governance system. The core of the text
will improve the reader's understanding of WIPO in five thematic
areas: - Legal foundations, mandate and purpose - Decision-making
structures, processes and practices - Financial arrangements (such
as income sources and the budget process) - Mechanisms for
accountability and control of the Secretariat (such as policies on
oversight, audit and evaluation) - Transparency and external
relations. The text is accompanied by a number of valuable
appendices, including key documents that have, to date, not been
readily available to the public. Written by a leading WIPO
commentator, The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO): A
Reference Guide is the first comprehensive reference book to
illuminate the nuts and bolts of WIPO governance. It will prove an
invaluable and handy resource for those who interact with WIPO on
any level, as well as to researchers seeking an introduction to how
the organisation works.
