"As planned IPR enforcement experts met on 12 October 2005 at the Patent Office in London (Harmsworth House) to discuss how to take forward the action set out in the G8 statement on "Reducing IPR piracy and counterfeiting through more effective enforcement" concluded at Gleneagles in July 2005.
The Foreign Affairs Sous Sherpas (FASS) have endorsed the conclusions of the 12 October meeting. To follow up the first meeting, we together with the incoming G8 Russian Presidency have drafted a number of project recommendations. The intention is that some of the projects will be undertaken directly by the G8 IPR enforcement experts in coordination with WIPO, WTO, WCO, Interpol, and OECD. But for others, the plan is to invite other inter-governmental specialist groups to take forward the work.
These recommendations are due to be considered by a further meeting of the IPR enforcement experts under the Russian Presidency, which is likely to take place in March. To prepare for this further meeting, we will hold a further co-ordination meeting with business and IPR interests. We intend to hold this meeting at 14:30 on Thursday, 23 February in our London Office (Harmsworth House). If you would like to attend this meeting please contact Kevin Llewellyn via E-mail at Kevin.llewellyn@patent.gov.uk or at the address below. [...]"
