Abstract

This chapter analyses the evolution of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) from the perspective of international laws on economic integration. It explores how WIPO enabled innovation and ideas by establishing a treaty regime. It examines the Trilateral Cooperation (TCs) and WIPO’s role in its success by inspecting its strategies against the challenges posed by the changing world. Further, the chapter delves into the question of WIPO’s future plans with regard to its effectiveness as a member of the TC agreement. Subsequently, the chapter reviews how WIPO can adopt measures to combat the challenges of the post-COVID-19 pandemic world. The chapter concludes that the future stature of WIPO will depend on its ability to enable development through promoting access to digital technology and to medication in a manner that promotes global economic development.
