Who We Are
TIP is an independent non-profit organization that aims to foster innovation and creativity through the better use of intellectual property and alternative vehicles for managing knowledge.
Our mission is to facilitate the replacement of Old IP – the over-reliance on patents, copyrights and trade-marks – with New IP – which focuses on granting the right amount of IP and better use of it through cooperation and collaboration. We believe that this new era of IP will stimulate innovation and creativity and broaden access to discoveries.
TIP is involved in a wide range of activities, ensuring an impact on various stakeholder communities, including strategic advising, training initiatives, building networks and developing entrepreneurship.
Giving Back
TIP is committed to working with underserved communities around the world that need to improve their understanding, use and management of intellectual property and its alternatives. In order to make this commitment a reality, we fund projects that foster innovation and creativity in such communities. Our Giving Back initiatives concentrate primarily on assisting developing country stakeholders, including indigenous communities. We are particularly interested in building intellectual property capacity in scientific and research communities.
