| 2º Workshop - Contributions
to the Development Agenda on Intellectual Property
Rights (2005) |
 The
‘Development Agenda’ initiative recognizes
that intellectual property is relevant to the process
of building technological capacity, it also draws
attention to the importance of public interest flexibilities
provided for by the IP system itself and the role
these flexibilities might play in fostering development-oriented
policies. Although a globalized economy poses overwhelming
challenges for policy-making, such as the tendency
towards uniformity, it is important to bear in mind
the serious disparities that continue to exist in
the levels of human, economic and technological
development among different States. States at differing
levels of development face different challenges
and have different needs. This fact should always
be borne in mind in the realm of intellectual property
policy-making” (Proposal to establish a development
agenda for the World Intellectual Property Organization
(WIPO): an elaboration of issues raised in document
wo/ga/31/11, Submission by the Group of Friends
of Development.
At the eve of the WIPO General Assembly (Geneva,
September 26 – October 05) it seems extremely
useful to discuss the Development Agenda on a broad
perspective, and share these thoughts and concerns
with the Group of Friends of Development. The main
objectives of this meeting are to promote networking
among leading scholars concerned with the impact
of IPRs on development and to find ways for cross-subsidisation
between that research network and policy makers
who may lead economic transformation.
