BLOG@IP::JURPatent Attorney Axel H Horns' Blog on Intellectual Property Law.
Saturday, March 12, 2005SPLT in Trouble.In my earlier post of February 25, 2005 I had quoted the Director General of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), Dr. Kamil Idris, as follows:"The Casablanca consultations were very positive and fruitful and resulted in a boost for the whole work program of WIPO, particularly, substantive patent law, traditional knowledge, folklore and issues related to genetic resources and the proposed WIPO Development Agenda. The constructive approach taken during the consultations will, I believe, go a long way in resolving outstanding issues in all these important areas and demonstrates a commitment to multilateralism."However, now there are quite contradictory reports.  IP-Watch writes:"[...] A key group of developing countries this week sent a potential shockwave through fledgling efforts at the World Intellectual Property Organisation to restart talks on the international harmonisation of national patent laws. [...]The Eleventh Session of SPLT deliberations will be held in Geneva from June 01 to June 02, 2005. The Committee will continue its discussion on a draft treaty on harmonization of certain provisions of patent law and practice. Invitations: As members, the States members of WIPO and/or of the Paris Union; as observers, other States and certain organizations.
