TEHRAN – The head of the State Organization for Registration of Deeds and Property, Hasan Babaei, and the director general of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), Daren Tang, have highlighted the need to expand technical cooperation and expedite the implementation of collaborative projects.
The officials met on the sidelines of the Sixty-Eighth Series of Meetings of the Assemblies of the Member States of WIPO, taking place at WIPO headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, from July 7 to 15, IRIB reported.
During the meeting, the two sides discussed recent developments in Iran’s intellectual property system, ongoing joint efforts, and explored the potential for the enhancement of interactions.
Elaborating on the country’s measures in 2025, Babaei stated that the signing of the WIPO treaty on intellectual property, genetic resources, and associated traditional knowledge, and accession to the Vienna and Strasbourg Agreements, indicate Iran’s determination to strengthen its participation in the international intellectual property system.
He referred to the implementation of the new Industrial Property Law in Iran as a significant legal and institutional development for the country. The new law has taken into account the standards and obligations outlined in relevant international instruments, paving the way for updating the system for the registration and protection of industrial property rights.
The official went on to say that supporting the intellectual property and innovation ecosystem is one of Iran’s key priorities, and emphasized the need to develop the capacities of specialists in this sector, expand intellectual property services to small and mid-size enterprises (SMEs), and foster more effective connections between the registration system, academic institutions, businesses, and innovation stakeholders.
For his part, Tang said Iran is a country with an ancient civilization, a rich cultural heritage, and significant scientific and innovative capabilities. He underlined the significance of benefiting from these capabilities to develop the intellectual property system and strengthen ties between WIPO and Iran. The official also announced WIPO’s readiness to deepen technical ties with the country.
