The South Centre and CIEL IP Quarterly Update is intended to facilitate a broader perspective of international intellectual property negotiations by providing a summary of relevant developments in multilateral, plurilateral, and bilateral fora. Moreover, each IP Quarterly Update focuses on a significant topic in the intellectual property and development discussions to demonstrate the importance of following developments in different fora and the risks of lack of coordination between the various negotiations.

Additional intellectual property-related documents are located on CIEL Trade & Sustainable Development Publications page.
