The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), has been established by treaty to create a vehicle under the World Trade Organization (WTO) to give an easier way for inventors and creators of intellectual property to protect their works from piracy. The opportunities for such people are tremendous: to have their works recognized as protected in 190 nations that have signed the WIPO treaty, and its parent organization's WTO treaty, which the USA ratified in 1994, without the necessity of applying in other countries outside their own, or relying upon the bilateral treaties that its own country have negotiated with other countries.
I will be in the process of researching ways to approach inventors and artists to gain their participation in the process of preserving the integrity of the works that they labored so hard to create. It is said that "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery," but it is the deadliest form of theft. An entire nation's ability to compete and progress in the marketplace and science can be destroyed by piracy and ineffective protection of the creative worker's actions. We'll be talking more about it in the future. Adios for now.
