Gender mainstreaming in IPR is an important issue in India. I invite comments on the issue since rural women inventors are always neglected and ignored. How can we rectify gender bias?

There was a discussion among our friends on IPR: IPRs must be made a compulsory subject in college law courses and in the Universities in India. I would like to invite comments from our members on this issue.

I am happy to join the IPR group. I am already undergoing the Advance Phase of the IGCBP, along with Fahd A. Batayneh, under Carolina. More discussions will follow in this Group.

New OECD book on Piracy of Digital Content

The OECD has released a new book "Piracy of Digital Content", that examines the "infringement of copyrighted content (such as music, films, software, broadcasting, books, etc.) where the end product does not involve the use of hard media, such as CDs and DVDs."

All the information about the book is available at OECD: Online Bookshop.

I just joined the group hoping to 'pick members brains' as I am currently trying to shape my research topic for the research phase of the course. Glad to see some familiar people..Carolina and Aminou:)

Hi AMINOU NDALA! Good to see you here and hope to see you more in our class! TK is one of the most complext issues when it comes to IPR...none of the traditional western rights is able to cover TK....but I also do not know if TK should be cover with some IP....since, in general, the indigenous culture recognize collective rights....and this may vary in abundance from culture to culture. (As an indigenous lawyer in Brazil friend of mine always said..."the 'white' like to put things in a 'square box', but we like to think in a 'circle'"....However, I am very favorable to the access and benefit sharing regimes that came into place during the CBD negotiations. Well...in any case, we can hold this discussion to later :-)....we will touch TK and access to genetic resources in our last week of the advanced course. Tks, Carol

Hello Carolina,

I am greatly moved by your statement " Copyright is generally not applied when we think about the traditional conception...the majority of knowledge would be in the public domain". - Are you suggesting that a sui generis protection system be developed to take care of our TK and Traditional Cultural Expressions or we should leave the way it is?
What about adapting the classical IP protection regimes for TK and TCEs?
