New WIPO Database Accesses Precedential IP Court Decisions

The World Intellectual Property Organization launched a free database for accessing “leading judicial decisions related to IP law,” said the group Thursday. “As technological innovation often outpaces the ability of legislatures and governments to create new rules and regulations,” said WIPO, “courts across the world are increasingly facing common issues of a highly sophisticated nature.” WIPO-Lex Judgments compiles rulings in WIPO member states “that establish precedent or offer a persuasive interpretation of IP law,” said the organization.
