To which Carl replied:
I am sorry but your sense of the present or possible roles of WIPO are
quite mistaken. There is no single place now, not at WIPO nor anywhere
else, that all the trademarks of the world are kept in a database. Nor
will there ever be, at WIPO or anywhere else.
To which Leo replies
