The IIPP is part of the broader Intellectual Property Strategy under the Government of Canada's Innovation and Skills Plan. It helps build on commitments to reconciliation, a recognition of Indigenous rights and implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act. The IIPP grants provide an opportunity for eligible Indigenous organizations to seek funding for travel to World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) sessions, small-scale initiatives and projects related to IP, Indigenous knowledge (IK) and Indigenous cultural expressions (ICEs). This stream makes funds available for travel to WIPO events, meetings, and negotiations related to IP and IK and ICEs, particularly the Intergovernmental Committee on Intellectual Property, Genetic Resources, Traditional Knowledge and Folklore (IGC) not exceeding $6,000 per person per trip. Applicants must be accredited observers to the intended meeting in order to be eligible for funding under this stream.
