National Intellectual Property and Innovation Strategies

WIPO assists Member States in developing national intellectual property (IP) and related innovation strategies that support economic development, foster innovation and creativity, and strengthen the growth and dynamism of enterprises.

Through our work on National IP and Innovation Strategies (NIIS), we help countries use IP as a practical tool to strengthen their innovation and creative ecosystems, in line with their social, cultural and economic development goals and priorities.

We also support Member States in developing broader innovation strategies and related policies where IP is a key component, including in areas such as technology transfer, IP commercialization, creative industries, research and development, business support and other public policy priorities.

A national IP strategy is a practical roadmap to turn IP into growth, innovation and investment.

It brings together IP and innovation policy measures to guide the development of a country’s IP and innovation ecosystem in line with its social, cultural and economic development goals.

By nature, it is cross-cutting: it connects IP with a wide range of public policy areas to strengthen coherence and coordination across government law- and policy-making.

As innovation ecosystems evolve rapidly, countries need clear and coordinated strategies to ensure that ideas, research, creativity and technologies can generate economic and social value. A well-designed NIIS helps governments create better conditions for innovators, creators, entrepreneurs and businesses to develop, protect, manage and bring their ideas to market.

When well designed, a NIIS helps governments focus efforts, align actors, and turn priorities into results. The WIPO National IP and Innovation Strategy development framework can help:

  • Position IP as part of the country’s broader economic development and innovation agenda.
  • Identify the sectors, reforms, and actions that matter most.
  • Bring institutions and stakeholders together around a shared strategy.
  • Translate analysis and evidence into practical reforms, clear responsibilities, and measurable results.

WIPO provides tailored assistance throughout the development of national IP and innovation strategies, in support of the goals, needs and priorities of Member States. Based on its unique global experience and expertise, WIPO offers tailored support to Member States throughout the national IP strategy process, including:

  • methodological guidance
  • policy advice
  • data, analysis and analytical tools
  • good practices and comparative examples
  • support for stakeholder engagement and consultations
  • assistance in identifying priority areas and developing practical implementation plans with clear actions, responsibilities and timelines.

Where requested, WIPO also provides support for innovation strategies and related policies where IP is a key component.

国家知识产权战略

WIPO协助发展中国家和最不发达国家制定国家知识产权战略。

通过独有的全球专家资源,我们帮助各国避开常见陷阱,确保形成最佳战略。

国家知识产权战略由政府制定并实施的一系列措施构成。这些措施从国家层面鼓励并促进有效地创造、发展、管理和保护知识产权。

它是一个跨领域文件,概述与多个政策领域的联系,以确保与其他活动进行有效协调。

国家知识产权战略增强一国创造具备经济价值的知识产权资产的能力。所有国家在以下方面都具有丰富的资产:人力资本;文学和艺术作品;手工艺品和民间文艺;以及遗传资源和生物资产。知识产权战略有助于各国以有计划、有效率、可持续的方式解放这些资产。

各国知识产权战略依存的目标、需求和优先事项可能大相径庭,但是这些目标、需求和优先事项在不同国家的存在恰恰说明,使用共同的方法和专门设计的工具,有利于以高效统一的方式制定战略。WIPO作为全球知识产权论坛,可以得天独厚地利用其独特经验,帮助受益人制定更好的知识产权战略。
