The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is an intergovernmental organization with its headquarters in Geneva. It is one of the 16 United Nations specialized agencies and is responsible for promoting the protection of intellectual property throughout the world, including the administration of the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), and also the international registration of marks.
As part of the MAPS Modernization Project, WIPO is about to issue Requests for Proposals (RFP) in order to select a contractor for the migration of MAPS and DMAPS applications from Natural/Adabas to WIPO’s new Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) platform.
