WIPO Launches Virtual Bookshop

Geneva, November 16, 1999
Press Releases PR/1999/198

The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) took its publications sales into cyberspace on Tuesday with the launch of an electronic bookshop. By clicking https://www.wipo.int/ebookshop clients are transported to a virtual site from which it is possible to select and order paper versions of books and periodicals and CD-ROMs. At present, approximately 100 publications in a range languages may be ordered from the electronic bookshop. This broad selection includes publications in the areas of industrial property, copyright, neighboring rights, patents, marks, trade (TRIPS), licensing/franchising, industrial designs and arbitration/mediation. There are also a number of downloadable free-of-charge general information products.

WIPO's electronic bookshop is equipped with a virtual shopping cart feature which allows shoppers to submit orders and to pay on-line with a valid credit card (American Express, MasterCard, Eurocard or Visa). This connection is via a secure server, using the secure socket layer protocol (SSL) which means that the information is encrypted as it is transmitted over the Internet. Customers who do not wish to use the SSL connection, may send their orders by fax, e-mail or regular mail to WIPO's Marketing and Distribution Section.

Introduction of the French and Spanish on-line versions of WIPO's electronic bookshop is expected in early 2000. In the meantime, French and Spanish versions of WIPO publications may be ordered via the English electronic bookshop site.

For further details, please contact the Marketing and Distribution Section at WIPO:
