The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) has launched a Chinese language version of its web site as part of its efforts to make important intellectual property-related material more readily available to a larger audience.

According to a press release issued Wednesday in Geneva, users can now access intellectual property resource material in six languages, namely, Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish at the WIPO web site: http://www.wipo.int.

WIPO officials hold that ready access to intellectual property-related information is central to WIPO's efforts to promote more widespread use and understanding of intellectual property, its role and value in fostering economic and cultural development.

"We are pleased to announce that the WIPO website is now available in all of the Organization's official languages, thereby making intellectual property-related reference materials available to an even larger number of people" said Kamil Idris, Director General of WIPO.

He stressed that this would further help in efforts to demystify intellectual property and create broader understanding of the value of intellectual property.

According to WIPO, in the first six months of this year, the WIPO website, including the main site and 12 subsidiary sites, registered some 140 million hits from all over the world, a 65 percent increase over the same period last year.
