Directory of Intellectual Property Offices

Welcome to WIPO’s compilation of contacts for the world’s national and regional intellectual property (IP) offices.

The granting of IP rights, which are territorial in nature, is a sovereign decision of nations and governed by national or regional laws. As such, your national or regional IP office is therefore your primary resource for all matters related to the protection of your IP. They will guide you through the process of securing IP rights for your inventions, brands, designs and more. Locate your national or regional IP office from the list below to begin your journey to safeguard your IP.
