Why TIP

Through our experience and knowledge, our Expert Team helps public and private sector parties, including governments, foundations, companies, researchers, scientists, NGOs, and indigenous communities address their pressing intellectual property needs. Being a non-profit organization with experience in industrialized and developing countries, we differ from others in the field in the following ways:

A Fact Based Method

TIP’s approach is based on an in-depth, seven-year study of how intellectual property systems work in the real world. This expertise enables our Expert Team to provide innovative and tailored solutions that make a difference on the ground.

A Tailored Approach

In carrying out our work, our Expert Team builds tailored and effective solutions that take into account, among other things, both cultural and economic realities. Our work is always tailored to meet the needs of a given partner.

A Diverse Team

TIP believes that a diversity of backgrounds, disciplines and experience is necessary to understand knowledge governance and intellectual property systems. TIP’s Expert Team reflects this diversity – in expertise, in experience and in developed and developing countries.

Independent

TIP is an independent, non-partial and honest broker in the area of knowledge governance and intellectual property.

Helping Underserved Communities

TIP is committed to helping underserved communities around the world improve their understanding, use, and management of intellectual property policies. TIP reinvests, on a yearly basis, part of its revenues in projects that benefit such communities.
