The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) (French: Organisation mondiale de la propriété intellectuelle (OMPI)) was founded in 1967 with the goal of promoting intellectual property rights worldwide. Since 1974, WIPO has also been a sub-organization of the United Nations and administers international treaties in the field of intellectual property.
In a collaboration between ASTT and WIPO, terminological entries for the WIPO Pearl database were developed as part of a university course. These entries were made available on September 27, 2023.
More about the database: The WIPO news article is available here.
The database now contains over 245,000 terms, all of which have been validated by WIPO-PCT language experts. In addition, almost 28,000 terms are linked to other terms within the database and can also be searched on the portal for relations between them.
The updated version contains 440 multilingual terminology entries with over 1,000 terms provided by students from the National University of Córdoba, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Saint Joseph University of Beirut, Astrakhan State University, Herzen State Pedagogical University, Zurich University of Applied Sciences, University of Manchester, University of Newcastle and Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey after WIPO validation.
