WIPO Launches Chinese Website

Geneva, September 18, 2002
Press Releases PR/2002/322

The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) launched this week a Chinese language version of its web site as part of its efforts to make important intellectual property-related material more readily available to a larger audience. Users can now access intellectual property resource material in six languages, namely, Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish at the WIPO web site: https://www.wipo.int.

Ready access to intellectual property-related information is central to WIPO's efforts to promote more widespread use and understanding of intellectual property, its role and value in fostering economic and cultural development. "We are pleased to announce that the WIPO website is now available in all of the Organization's official languages, thereby making intellectual property-related reference materials available to an even larger number of people" said Dr. Kamil Idris, Director General of WIPO. He stressed that this would further help in efforts to demystify intellectual property and create broader understanding of the value of intellectual property.

In the first six months of this year, the WIPO website (the main site plus 12 subsidiary sites) registered some 140 million hits from all over the world, a 65 percent increase over the same period last year. WIPO is increasingly harnessing the potential of modern information technologies to disseminate intellectual property-related information.

The Chinese website contains most of the treaties that are administered by WIPO, as well as general information about WIPO and intellectual property. It also provides a schedule of forthcoming meetings and access to a broad selection of conference documents. Pointers are also provided to information that is available in other languages.
