WIPO Lex is an online global database launched in 2010,[2] which provides free public access to intellectual property laws, treaties and judicial decisions from around the world.

[6] In 2022, the WIPO Lex Database contained 48,000 national, regional and international legal documents relating to intellectual property, with access in the six UN languages.

The legislative content covers 20 subject matter areas, including patents, copyright, trademarks, utility models, industrial designs, geographical indications, traditional knowledge, plant variety protection, trade secrets, and others.

[16] The WIPO Lex database is organized by member profile, and is also searchable by collection, subject matter, and free-text queries.

Other features include additional language versions, links to related legislation and treaties, and archived superseded records of the law or regulation in question.
