WIPO TO LAUNCH PROBE


WIPO has announced that it is to launch its first unmanned mission into space. The programme, run in conjunction with NASA and the WTO, aims to educate extraterrestrials about the importance of strong intellectual property rights as part of an economically viable market economy.

It will carry a selected library of intellectual property materials, including the text of the Statute of Monopolies and a copy of the BASS trade mark (the first to be registered), as well as more up-to-date materials such as a copy of the TRIPs Agreement and a full set of WIPO’s popular cartoon guides to IP law.



The expected launch date is 26 April 2009, coinciding with World Intellectual Property Day.

The IPKat selflessly volunteers to be WIPO’s first goodwill intellectual property ambassador in space.

  1. Will they take a photo of you in front of Cherie Blair's new red front door at No10. The cartoon guides are fun though.

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
