wackes seppi says 14/07/2009 at 4:04 pm This is what Lammy said on WIPO: “…we have to get very serious about Intellectual Property, not just as something technical and legal, but as something that is absolutely essential to public policy. Now we will need important multilateral platforms for that. That’s why the WIPO is so important…” Reply
Jan Goossenaerts says 20/07/2009 at 10:48 am Lammy emphasized the importance of multi-lateral platforms such as WIPO in dealing with mainstream public policy challenges, yet saw bilateral agreements playing a role in enforcement and fighting crime.
