Public Interest Groups Sue US Trade Representative Over ‘Secret’ Enforcement Treaty

18/09/2008 by Kaitlin Mara for Intellectual Property Watch Leave a Comment

By Kaitlin Mara Perhaps no topic over the past year has been cause for more uneasy speculation within the intellectual property community than the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), primarily because the negotiating process for this treaty has been behind tightly closed doors.

The South Strikes Back Against Overreaching IP Enforcement

17/09/2008 by Catherine Saez, Intellectual Property Watch 4 Comments
