Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to give a succinct overview of the leading multilateral organizations and industry associations that safeguard intellectual property rights. First, a quick overview of the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) in the World Trade Organization (WTO), the World Intellectual Property Organization, the IP-related governance in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and the enforcement of IP through the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol). These four international agencies were selected for illustration purposes and many more global organizations could have been selected for this chapter. Second, a description of some of the principal industry associations that have IP at the forefront of their mandates—the International AntiCounterfeiting Coalition (IACC), the Business Software Alliance (BSA), the Software Information Industry Association (SIIA), the Motion Picture Association of American (MPAA), the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and the International Federation of Phonographic Industry (IFPI) are highlighted in this chapter. Again, these six associations were selected due to their high profile for collecting data on piracy in their respective market segments. There are many more trade associations that exist with strong linkages to IP protection.
