Intellectual Property
Trade and Intellectual Property
The emphasis on innovation as a measure of global competitiveness
as well as the growth in participation of the Canadian economy in
global trade have made the international dimension of intellectual
property policy increasingly important. There are numerous well
established international conventions specifically relating to the
protection of intellectual property rights, some dating back over
a century. These conventions are administered through the World
Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). The World Trade Organization
(WTO) Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property
Rights (TRIPS) brought some of the well established intellectual
property obligations found in WIPO administered conventions into
a trade context. International Trade Canada works closely with other
departments in decision making related to trade policy and intellectual
property in order to support Canadian interests.
