Mongolia is a member of World Intellectual Property Organisation and has acceded to the main treaties and conventions related to intellectual property. The countryalso signed and approved the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) administered by the World Trade Organisation (WTO).

Intellectual Property Office of Mongolia (IPOM)(recently expanded as Intellectual Property and State Registration Office) is the main government institution in control of intellectual property matters in Mongolia. IPOM is responsible for handling the management of intellectual property, granting intellectual property rights (IPR), supporting the commercial circulation of IPR and protecting from IPR infringement. In addition, government institutions, including the General Authority of Customs and Tax, Communications Regulatory Commission, the Authority for Fair Competition and Consumer Protection and the Department against Economic Crime at the National Police Agency play important role in protecting IPRs. The IPRs are regulated under the Law of Mongolia on Trademark and Geographic Indications, Law on Patent and the Law on Copyrights and related rights.
