Which of the following is expressly listed in the definition of "intellectual property" in Article 2(viii) of the WIPO Convention but is NOT one of the categories of intellectual property covered by the TRIPS Agreement under its Article 1.2?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Article 2(viii) of the WIPO Convention lists rights relating to "scientific discoveries" among the components of intellectual property. Article 1.2 of TRIPS confines "intellectual property" to the categories in Sections 1 to 7 of Part II, and no section deals with discoveries. Layout-designs, undisclosed information and geographical indications each have their own section in Part II of TRIPS, so they are TRIPS categories.
