13 new Iranian products registered with World Intellectual Property Organization

TEHRAN (Iran News)  Thirteen new Iranian products have been officially registered with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), according to a senior advisor at Iran’s Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade.

Mehdi Mirsalehi told IRNA on Monday that the milestone highlights the growing global recognition of Iran’s diverse cultural and natural assets.

The newly registered items include a mix of mineral stones, agricultural goods, and one traditional handicraft, he said.

Among the most notable, he said, are rosewater from the city of Kashan, grapes and apples from Urmia, and a handwoven carpet from Fars Province.

These additions bring the total number of Iranian products registered with WIPO to 87, he added.

Mirsalehi said that Iran’s journey toward international product registration began in 2010 with the global recognition of its handwoven carpets.

Since then, 31 carpet-producing regions across the country, along with various agricultural and mineral products, have been added to the registry, he said.

WIPO is one of the 15 specialized agencies of the United Nations. It was established to encourage creative works and protect intellectual property rights globally.
