: The development of ideas is distinctively human. The forms by which our ideas are expressed differ from person to person; also the same person may express even the same idea in different forms. In modern times, this form of expression (& not the idea itself) is regarded as “intellectual work” and therefore the “Intellectual Property” of the owner. The World Intellectual Property Organization, located at Geneva, helps in processing & co-ordination of applications safeguarding this property according to member country laws & conditions. WIPO itself does not formulate laws; these are framed by the member countries.
