LAUNCHING CIEL'S A CITIZEN'S GUIDE TO WIPO
November 6, 2007
Room 602
American University's Washington College of Law
4801 Massachusetts Avenue, NW
Washington, DC
Lunch and Welcome, 12 :00pm
Panel Discussion, 12 :30-1 :30pm
 |
The panel discussion will reflect civil society's successes at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and review the challenges, both substantive and procedural, to making WIPO a sustainable development-friendly organization. The objective of A
Citizen's Guide to WIPO is to provide citizens and civil
society organizations with the practical information required to
promote and enhance their effective participation in WIPO discussions
and activities. CIEL's A Citizen's Guide to WIPO describes
WIPO's role in the development, implementation, and enforcement
of intellectual property rules, and seeks to enable civil society
to effectively insert public interest concerns into WIPO's programs
and activities. |
