The STLT is the product of WIPO members' efforts to update the 1994 Trade Mark Law Treaty (TLT) to keep pace with the technological developments of the past decade. Among the main innovations, the new treaty extends coverage to scent-based and sound-based trade marks. It also allows trade mark applications to be filed not only in paper but also electronically. Moreover, it provides for the harmonisation of formalities for recording licenses and the establishment of an Assembly of Contracting Parties, which may now include intergovernmental organisations and is responsible for updating regulations under the treaty.
