History
editTIPO was established in 1927.[3] The Republic of China's government is not a member of WIPO, but through the cooperation partnership signed with the French National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) in 2004, the two national intellectual property offices are able to exchange and learn the updated information and best practices from EU, WIPO, the Madrid Agreement, European Patent Office and APEC.[4]
Transportation
editThe office is accessible within walking distance south of Technology Building Station of Taipei Metro.
