Chair’s proposal for future works to be discussed today at the Standing Committee on the Law of Patents

After a week of controversial informal meetings, the Chair, Maximiliano Santa Cruz, prepared a proposal for future work of the Committee (SCP). The proposal will be analyzed by Member States, International Organizations and Non-governmental organizations today, Friday, the last day of meeting.

It seams a steep forward considering demands from both sides: LDC’s demands on addressing Development Agenda recommendations and further understanding on exceptions and limitations, but also Developing countries interests on client-attorney privilege and patent quality. Nonetheless, the goal was to establish topics to remain on the agenda, which shall be debated further at SCP 16th meeting, to eventually turn out into practical deliberations.
