Todd, According to the WIPO web site: "The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations. It is dedicated to developing a balanced and accessible international intellectual property (IP) system, which rewards creativity, stimulates innovation and contributes to economic development while safeguarding the public interest." What the WIPO might or might not call for might perhaps be of interest to various national legislative bodies, but it is completely out of scope for the IETF list.
