Several international treaties concluded since 1967, notably the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS Agreement) of the World Trade Organization (WTO), further clarified and elaborated new types of intellectual property, for example, the design of integrated circuits, based on earlier work undertaken by WIPO.
