IP Rights Management in Genetic Resources and Data

This WIPO service provides customized information, practical tools and training related to the management of intellectual property (IP) in genetic resources (GRs) and data in the life sciences.

The digital transformation of GRs in the modern life sciences creates new and unique IP needs, which cut across multiple branches of IP law and practice. WIPO’s program on IP Rights Management in Genetic Resources and Data provides a one-stop source for cross-cutting products and services, including practical tools and information on how to protect and manage trade secrets, patents, technological protection measures, effective public disclosures and regulatory compliance for GRs and GR data in the life sciences.
