Dev Biotech wonders which body within the WTO oversees the operation of the TRIPS Agreement and monitors members' compliance. Which is correct?

The Council for TRIPS, a WTO body, monitors the operation of the TRIPS Agreement and members' compliance with their obligations. The Paris Union Assembly and WIPO's International Bureau are part of WIPO administration rather than the WTO, and a national patent office does not oversee TRIPS.
