AI & Patent Policy Game
Global Not Applicable
The AI & Patent Policy Game is a WIPO initiative that introduced a gamified approach to exploring how artificial intelligence challenges traditional patent law concepts. Launched on the sidelines of the Standing Committee on the Law of Patents, the game invited delegates to engage with scenario-based questions on issues such as the threshold of human contribution for patentability, the implications of mandatory “labelling” of AI contributions in patent applications, how AI affects the right to a patent, and how access to AI tools may influence the inventive step analysis.
The activity provided a relaxed and interactive environment where participants discussed complex policy topics in an accessible way. The strong engagement demonstrated the value of gamification in helping stakeholders examine emerging questions at the intersection of AI development and the global patent system.

Activity Type Policy/Regulatory GuidanceAI Infrastructure Interchange (AIII)
Global Not Applicable
The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Infrastructure Interchange (AIII, pronounced “A-triple-I”) is a WIPO initiative that facilitates global dialogue on the technical and operational aspects of the intellectual property system in the context of artificial intelligence.
As AI systems operate across sectors and borders, existing infrastructure — often developed for specific uses in different industries — faces new challenges. But effectively deployed infrastructure also presents an opportunity to chart a path forward through those challenges, as it has for prior disruptions of the intellectual property system. AIII provides a neutral forum for creators, rights-holders, developers, and other experts to exchange ideas and explore practical solutions.
AIII does not set policy or legal standards. Instead, it focuses on how technical systems and tools can effectively support creators, copyright owners, and innovators while also promoting the development of AI technology in a rapidly evolving environment.
AIII is a joint project of the IP and Frontier Technologies Division and the Copyright Management Division.

Vienna Classification Assistant
GlobalThe Vienna Classification Assistant is an AI-driven tool developed by WIPO to support the use of the Vienna Classification system. This system helps classify figurative elements of trademarks by automatically suggesting appropriate Vienna Classification codes. The Vienna Classification Assistant enhances the accuracy and efficiency of trademark classification processes.
