French and Spanish Versions of WIPO Virtual Bookshop Go On-Line

Geneva, April 4, 2000
Press Releases PR/2000/214

The French and Spanish versions of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) electronic bookshop were launched this week. WIPO first took its publications sales into cyberspace in November 1999. By clicking https://www.wipo.int/ebookshop clients are transported to a trilingual virtual site from which it is possible to select and order paper versions of books, periodicals and CD-ROMs. A broad selection of publications available at the site cover 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.
