	World Intellectual Property Organization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The headquarters of WIPO are in Geneva, Switzerland.
		The predecessor to WIPO was the BIRPI (Bureaux Internationaux Réunis pour la Protection de la Propriété Intellectuelle, French acronym for United International Bureau for the Protection of Intellectual Property), which had been set up in 1893 to administer the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works.
		WIPO was formally created by the Convention Establishing the World Intellectual Property Organization (Signed at Stockholm on July 14, 1967 and as amended on September 28, 1979).

		WIPO currently oversees 23 treaties covering aspects of intellectual property protection, however it is not obligatory for member states of WIPO to be parties to these treaties.
		WIPO classifies the PCT as a 'global protection system treaty' and it allows patents to be applied for through a single international route as an alternative to the submission of separate applications to each state in which the patent is desired.
		Another WIPO treaty relevant to the area of biotechnology is the 1977 Budapest Treaty on the International Recognition of the Deposit of Microorganisms for the Purpose of Patent Procedure.
