Abstract

On May 21, 2020, the World Intellectual Property Organization unveiled WIPO Proof, a significant advancement whose main goal was to track and strengthen intellectual property on a whole new level. This documentation service could securely verify the existence of an intellectual article of any type. In practice, this preliminary registration system not only had the ability to register all forms of intellectual property but also covered unprotectable ideas too. However, considering that this method of protection was not supported by international, regional, or national laws, a number of issues regarding the position and quality of the resulting documentation became subjects of debate. In this research, by studying the structure, function, and similar national mechanisms, we concluded that to improve and upgrade the protection provided by IP laws, we need to develop and synchronize with the needs of the active class in the field of innovation. As a result, services such as WIPO Proof can be considered an undeniable milestone for the development and improvement of current intellectual property regimes.
