CCL was established following the first World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) inter-Ministerial Level meeting on Intellectual Property for CARICOM countries held in 1998 when Ministers with responsibility for Intellectual Property requested assistance from WIPO in the creation of a regional system for collective management of copyright and related rights.  At the second WIPO-Ministerial Level Meeting in 1999, the Ministers requested WIPO to develop a Regional System for Collective Management.
