What Legal Frameworks Support International Protection?
Several international agreements and organizations play a pivotal role in providing a framework for international protection:
World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO): WIPO administers treaties like the Madrid Protocol and the PCT, which simplify the process of securing IP protection in multiple countries. Berne Convention: This treaty ensures that copyrights are respected across member countries without the need for formal registration. Paris Convention: This agreement provides a foundation for filing trademarks and patents internationally, ensuring rights are preserved across member states.
