In yet another move bound to please IP enthusiasts the world over, the very first day of June, 2010 saw WIPO come up with WIPO GOLD, a free, on-line global IP reference resource aimed to provide quick and easy access to a broad collection of searchable IP data and tools. Such data would range from technology, brands, designs, statistics, WIPO standards and IP classification systems to the features of different IP law regimes across the world and the notable IP treaties. Such a move on WIPO’s part is sure to gladden the heart of any person next time he is seeking to get some serious IP research/studies done. Among other things, it is also going to increase the degree of transparency in global IP scenario to a considerable extent, with WIPO aiming to fill the global knowledge chasm by helping the free-flow and use of and access to IP-related information all over the world, such as the technological information found in patent documents unpublished elsewhere for example.
