Paris Convention

The Paris Convention, established in 1883, is an international agreement that aims to protect industrial property, including patents, trademarks, and designs. It provides a framework for countries to recognize and respect each other's intellectual property rights, ensuring that creators are protected without having to register in every country individually. The convention promotes cooperation among member countries, making it simpler for inventors and businesses to secure their innovations globally while preventing unauthorized use and counterfeiting. Over 170 countries are part of this agreement, which helps facilitate international trade and innovation.
