WIPO is unusual among international governmental organizations in that it is largely self-financing. About 85 percent - approximately 350 million Swiss francs - of the Organization's budgeted expenditure for the 2000-2001 biennium will come from earnings from the three major registration systems. The remaining 15 percent will come mainly from contributions from member States and sales of WIPO publications. All this income finances WIPO’s operating expenditures, slightly over 200 million Swiss francs per year.
The use of the registration systems has grown steadily over the last few years, and that trend is expected to continue well into the new century. Long-term investments on office automation and headquarters premises are currently under way, financed by a special reserve fund.
