The International Framework for the Protection of Intellectual Property Rights

Through this study, we seek to gain insight into the primary global agreements pertaining to the safeguarding of intellectual property rights. Of particular interest are the Paris and Bern Conventions, which encompass both industrial and commercial rights as well as literary and artistic ones. Our analysis encompasses the role that the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) has played in the implementation of these conventions and subsequent agreements. Furthermore, we will evaluate the effect of these agreements on national laws and their capacity to adapt to substantial technological advancements. Tracing the evolution of intellectual property rights through history, this research identifies pivotal moments that have shaped the landscape—both historically and in the digital age—while highlighting the responsible international organizations. Utilizing a descriptive approach, key provisions within global agreements will be referenced and analyzed through an analytical methodology.
