PROGRAM 17 BUILDING RESPECT FOR IP
Program Manager Mr. M.A. Getahun
OVERVIEW OF PROGRESS IN 2014
-
Guided by Strategic Goal VI and DA Recommendation 45, all of the various activities of Program 17 were geared towards enhanced international cooperation on building respect for IP that seeks to achieve the appropriate balance between private rights and public interest.
-
With a view to achieving progress in the international policy dialogue among WIPO Member States on building respect for IP, the ninth session of the Advisory Committee on Enforcement (ACE) (March 3 to 5, 2014) served as a “marketplace of ideas”, allowing for the exchange of national practices and experiences. The three day meeting showed growing interest in effective preventive strategies, ranging from awareness raising, new business models and supply chain security, to alternative mechanisms for resolving IP disputes. For the first time, an audiovisual exhibition was organized with the session, presenting nine national and one regional awareness raising initiatives. Member States agreed for the work program of the tenth session to remain dedicated to: (i) alternative dispute resolution practices in the field of IP and (ii) preventive actions, measures or successful experiences to complement enforcement measures with a view to reducing the size of the market for pirated or counterfeited goods.
-
To achieve international policy cohesion and maximum impact through shared resources in the area of building respect for IP, Program 17 coordinated its work with intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations, associations of stakeholders as well as academic institutions. Through systematic, transparent, and effective collaboration, WIPO was able to mainstream its development-oriented approach to building respect for IP into the work of its international partners. The joint activities were guided by DA Recommendation 40.
-
Demand for WIPO assistance in the form of legislative advice on the compatibility of draft or current national enforcement-related provisions with Part III of the TRIPS Agreement continued to rise in 2014. In close dialogue with national drafters, Program 17 helped Member States devise legislative solutions that are appropriate to their national requirements and take full account of the available flexibilities and options. Activities in this area of legislative, regulatory and policy assistance implemented DA Recommendations 1, 6, 12, 13, 14 and 17.
-
The Program’s capacity building activities sought to empower national authorities to build respect for IP through a combination of balanced enforcement activities and preventive measures designed to reduce demand for infringing goods and underscore the value of the IP-legitimate market. To enhance the sustainability of the knowledge transfer, specific collaborations were established with national law enforcement training entities capable of serving as multipliers. In addition, a French edition and an Arabic translation of the English edition of the WIPO Casebook on the Enforcement of IP Rights were published. The activities in this area were informed by DA Recommendations 3, 10, and 11.
-
In order to support Member State IP education and awareness initiatives, seeking to reduce IP infringement through behavioral change, a modular methodology for devising national awareness raising strategies was developed and two Member States were assisted in its implementation in accordance with the respective particular national needs. The Program also supported six Member States in the organization of school competitions around the 2014 IP Day theme and published workbooks featuring “Pororo the little penguin” in English and French as a way to increase popular understanding of the value of IP, particularly by young people. In addition, the WIPO Awards Program continued to celebrate the achievements of inventors, creators and innovative companies with 160 WIPO Awards being bestowed on recipients from 38 Member States. The Program’s awareness raising activities contributed to the implementation of DA Recommendation 3.
