The WIPO convention is one of the most important conventions for the protection of intellectual property rights in the world.
this convention was founded in 197 to promote the protection and utilization of intellectual property rights. As the most important intellectual property organization in the world, WIPO is responsible for formulating and promoting international standards and policies for intellectual property protection. China joined the Convention in 198 and became one of the founding members of the Convention.
2. Paris convention

China joined the Paris Convention in 1984 and became a member of the Convention.
3. Other international conventions and agreements
In addition to the above two conventions, China has also participated in many other international conventions and agreements for the protection of intellectual property rights, which cover different fields of intellectual property protection.
For example, China has joined the Agreement on Multilateral Trading System and Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS Agreement), which is an important part of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and aims to ensure the effective protection of intellectual property rights in international trade. In addition, China has also joined the Convention on Cultural Diversity, the International Convention on the Protection of Plant Varieties and other related conventions to promote and strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights worldwide.
4. Significance and challenges of intellectual property protection in China
China's participation in these international conventions and agreements reflects the country's attention and commitment to intellectual property protection. Joining international conventions and agreements can help China establish a sound legal system and policy system, improve the level of intellectual property protection, and promote innovation and economic development.
however, facing the challenge of global intellectual property protection, China still faces problems such as intellectual property infringement and counterfeiting. Therefore, China needs to actively participate in international cooperation, strengthen the construction of laws and regulations on intellectual property protection, improve law enforcement, strengthen the supervision and protection of intellectual property rights, and further enhance the level of intellectual property protection in China.
