The main goal has been achieved for World Intellectual Property Organization delegates who started last week with the task of improving a document to become an international instrument protecting traditional knowledge.

The International Trade Committee (INTA) of the European Parliament yesterday passed a resolution welcoming negotiations for a Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) between the European Union and the United States (23 in favor, five against, one abstention). While most of the 198 amendments to the report of the rapporteur, the INTA Committee Chair Vital Moreira (Socialists and Democrats Group) were rejected by the majority, an amendment asking for the “exclusion of the cultural and audiovisual services, including those provided online” in the negotiation mandate was adopted.

In “Great Shame,” WIPO Fund For Indigenous Peoples’ Participation Running Dry

26/04/2013 by William New, Intellectual Property Watch 3 Comments

25/04/2013 by Catherine Saez, Intellectual Property Watch 2 Comments

Experts in the field of three dimensional (3D) printing, invited by the World Intellectual Property Organization, today tried to demystify this technology, which has been much talked about but still not very well understood. Seen by some as a futuristic technology, 3D printing can achieve amazing results but also has technical limits and is not expected to yet lead to a manufacturing revolution.

Anti-Counterfeiters Focus On Organised Crime, Softer Public Message

25/04/2013 by William New, Intellectual Property Watch Leave a Comment
