In September 2020 the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) launched a new platform, WIPO Lex-Judgments, which will provide information about national IP laws and international IP treaties through a multilingual search engine.(1)
Various countries(2) will contribute to this international initiative by providing information about:
- national IP-related judicial rulings; and
- administrative decisions that set a precedent or establish standard interpretation criteria regarding national IP regulations.
The platform is expected to contribute towards a better global understanding of how the courts – particularly those in WIPO member countries – resolve complex situations that arise from technological innovations.
