WIPO Intellectual Property Handbook

The mission of WIPO is to promote through international cooperation the creation,\r
dissemination, use and protection of works of the human mind for the economic, cultural and social\r
progress of all mankind. Its effect is to contribute to a balance between the stimulation of creativity\r
worldwide, by sufficiently protecting the moral and material interests of creators on the one hand,\r
and providing access to the socio-economic and cultural benefits of such creativity worldwide on\r
the other.\r
\r
The Convention establishing WIPO declares that membership shall be open to any State that\r
is a member of any of the Unions, and to any State which is not a member of any of the Unions,\r
provided that it is a member of the United Nations, of any of the specialized agencies of the United\r
Nations or of the International Atomic Energy Agency, or is party to the Statute of the International\r
Court of Justice or is invited by the General Assembly of WIPO to become a member. Thus only\r
States can be members of WIPO.\r
