Administrative history
In 1925, the IIIC founded a “Section juridique,” Legal Affairs Section, which was charged with studying legal matters arising from the Institute’s relations with associations and other international organizations, as well as issues regarding copyright and intellectual property in the fields of the sciences, arts and literature. The Section also dealt with legal questions relating to the administration and operations of the Institute and assisted other sections on legal matters. The Section worked in cooperation with the United International Bureaux for the Protection of Intellectual Property (Berne) and the International Labour Organization, as well as other international organizations such as the International Academy of Comparative Law at The Hague.
