Invitation to Apply to Participate in the WIPO-WTO Colloquium for teachers of IP Geneva, Switzerland, 20 juen - 1st july, 2011

noreply@blogger.com (Prof. (Dr.) Tabrez Ahmad) — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 02:35:00 +0000

Invitation to Apply to Participate in the WIPO-WTO Colloquium

for Teachers of Intellectual Property

Geneva, Switzerland
20 June - 1 July 2011

The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) are jointly organizing a two-week colloquium for teachers of intellectual property from developing countries and countries with economies in transition. The eighth colloquium will take place in Geneva, Switzerland from 20 June to 1 July 2011.

What is the colloquium meant to achieve?

The programme aims to provide those teaching and researching in intellectual property and closely related disciplines with an update on the activities and instruments of WIPO and the WTO. It will focus on policy issues under negotiation or discussion in the two organizations, and place these issues in their wider legal and policy contexts. The colloquium aims to strengthen the capacity of universities in developing and transition countries to develop national expertise in intellectual property, thereby building their capacity to provide policy support on current negotiations or discussions in WIPO and WTO.

The colloquium will further strengthen and give structure to the exchange of practical information on relevant national or regional experiences between university teachers and the two Secretariats. Emphasis is laid on enabling participants to develop practical strategies for improving teaching methodologies. To maintain the momentum, it will encourage the establishment and strengthening of contacts between participants and trainers and experts for continuing dialogue and cooperation on intellectual property teaching and research.

A copy of the provisional programme for the colloquium is available.

Who can participate?

Participants are selected from eligible candidates drawn from developing countries and countries with economies in transition across the globe. Some additional places are available for self-funded participants from developed countries.

The colloquium has a strong specialist focus on the law and policy of intellectual property, and assumes that participants have an advanced awareness of this field. Even so, it is a multidisciplinary activity, open to lawyers, economists, and other university teachers and researchers working in the field.

Participants will be asked to give a presentation on an intellectual property policy that is currently under debate in their country.

What are the practical arrangements?

The working language will be English. Twenty-two (22) places are available for applicants from developing countries and countries with economies in transition. The organizers cover their travel, accommodation and subsistence costs. An additional five places are available for applicants from developed countries, but they participate at their own expense.

How do I apply?

To be eligible for consideration, applicants for the 22 funded places must currently work as a university teacher of intellectual property in a developing country or in a country with an economy in transition, and have at least five years' teaching experience. In addition,

An ongoing role in policy analysis or advice with respect to WIPO or WTO discussions or negotiations is desirable;
An established track record in research and publication in the field of intellectual property is also desirable;
Applicants must have an advanced degree and teaching experience in intellectual property law or international law/economics/management with a specialization in intellectual property; and
Applicants must have an excellent knowledge of English.

The same criteria apply for applicants for the self-funded places allocated for developed country participants.

Applicants should identify a specific topical intellectual property policy or legal issue that is currently under active debate or review in the applicant's country or region, on which he/she would be ready to make a short presentation and prepare a paper for subsequent publication. A one-page summary of this presentation must accompany the Application Form.

Interested candidates need to complete the Application Form online and submit it by 18 March 2011.

The final selection will be made by the organizers, taking into consideration the need for regional and gender balance. Participants in previous colloquia may not apply within five years of their earlier participation, and where two applicants are equally ranked, preference will be given to applicants who have not previously taken part. Selected applicants will be directly notified by the organizers.

New Year 2011, Greetings

noreply@blogger.com (Prof. (Dr.) Tabrez Ahmad) — Fri, 31 Dec 2010 04:59:00 +0000

It is easy to be overwhelmed by the negatives. We cannot deny economic realities, uncertainties, wrongdoings and sufferings. Yet, there is always the silver lining of hope, achievement and the triumph of human spirit. And it all starts with a positive energy and wishes for the future from each of us. Because Sun glows for a day, Candle for an hour, Matchstick for a minute. But a wish can glow days forever. So here is Tabrez Ahmad on behalf of all the authors Wishes the Blog Readers a Very happy and prosperous New Year. Due to the kind of faith and confidence shown by various readers to us within a short time almost all the blogs and specially Technolexindia, IPlex, and Conferencelex have got lot of name and fame not only in India but also in different parts of the world. There are around one thousand and five hundred e-mail subscribers of our various blogs. Hope the same kind of cooperation, comment and suggestion will be provided to us and that will further help to upgrade the standard of blog postings.

My wishes for your glowing life in NEW YEAR, 2011.

Oh my Dear, Forget ur Fear,
Let all ur Dreams be Clear,
Never put Tear, Please Hear,
I want to tell some thing in ur Ear
I pray! This New Year may bring to you.
The joy that never sees the eclipse,
The hope which never meets the despair,
The mind that fastens human bonds,
The heart which bleeds for the love of man,
The soul that buries all its ills,
The world which aspires for the lasting peace,
The passion that even the angels envy,
The humility which placates the Divine Wrath,

This is beginning of a new year!
Like birds, let us, leave behind what we don't need to carry…
GRUDGES, SADNESS, PAIN, FEAR and REGRETS
Life is beautiful, Enjoy it.

Thanks all of you once again for all cooperation and encouragement shown to us in the last one year.

Bye. Take care.

Generic medications under threat due to India-EU draft Free Trade Agreement

noreply@blogger.com (Prof. (Dr.) Tabrez Ahmad) — Sat, 11 Dec 2010 17:06:00 +0000

Image via Wikipedia

The EU-India draft FTA, as it stands, places trade interests over human rights,. If the intellectual property provisions remain in the FTA as drafted, the production of generic medicines in India will be severely hampered.

As a result, millions of people in India and around the world may not be able to access to necessary, life-saving and life-prolonging medicines. Restriction of generic drug production in India will have a devastating public health impact around the world and adversely affect the right to health of millions of patients. Though this agreement has taken shape over the course of many years, the process has suffered from lack of transparency and lack of consultation and participation. At no point has either party voluntarily opened negotiations to the public, or made available official draft texts for comment.

People living with HIV would be disproportionately affected, because the majority of antiretroviral treatments used to treat HIV around the world are provided through generic medicines produced in India. Among the provisions which jeopardise medication supplies, data exclusivity provisions in the draft FTA are particularly concerning. The introduction of data exclusivity has been shown to delay and restrict market entry of generic medicines and, as a result, increase prices and reduce access to medicines.

The millions in the developing world depend on India for generic medicines at affordable costs. FTA ignores the rights to information and to participation in the conduct of public affairs, which are essential dimensions of the right to health, as well as self-standing rights. The available leaked texts of the European Union-India draft FTA contain provisions to protect and enforce intellectual property, which are beyond countries' obligations under TRIPS..

Sunny Deol to copyright his voice

noreply@blogger.com (Prof. (Dr.) Tabrez Ahmad) — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 17:13:00 +0000

Taking a cue from Amitabh Bachchan who less than a month ago decided to copyright his characteristic baritone, Sunny Deol has undertaken to follow suit.
After Bachchan, Deol is one of the most popular targets in comedy shows. He is also popular in radio stations which try to gain publicity by asking people to impersonate him." Bachchan wrote on his blog. The actor said he was shocked to read a comment from a reader on his blog stating how a 'gutka' manufacturer was using his (Bachchan's ) imitated voice to advertise his product.

"Now, not only is this unethical and wrong, it paints me in bad light as well," Bachchan said.

"For someone who does not smoke or propagate smoking or any kind of intoxicant, by keeping away from endorsing such products, it is most disgusting to find someone conflagrating the law of the land and the law of ethics," he wrote.Avers Deol, "I have nothing against people imitating my voice. But then they should know their limits. What upsets me is when they cross the line."
The actor was indirectly taking a dig at the radio station that spoofed him and his father Dharmendra that didn't go down well with him. Last year, Deol even slapped a legal notice on a radio station asking for compensation damage ofRs 2 million.
Currently busy with the dubbing and promotion of the family home production Yamla Pagla Deewana , Deol will look into the copyright aspect once his film releases on 14 January next year.

US Senate committee approves online piracy bill

noreply@blogger.com (Prof. (Dr.) Tabrez Ahmad) — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 16:28:00 +0000

Image via Wikipedia

The US Senate Judiciary Committee approved a bill on 18th November that would give US law enforcement more tools to crack down on websites abroad engaged in piracy of movies, television shows and music.The bill gives the Justice Department an expedited process for cracking down on websites engaged in piracy or the sale of counterfeit goods including having courts issue shutdown orders against domains based outside the United States The Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act, which has the support of the entertainment industry but has been strongly criticized by digital rights and other groups, was approved by a vote of 19-0.Few things are more important to the future of the American economy and job creation than protecting our intellectual property. The legislation is supported by both labor and industry, and Democrats and Republicans are standing together.

Rogue websites are essentially digital stores selling illegal and sometimes dangerous products. If they existed in the physical world, the store would be shuttered immediately and the proprietors would be arrested. Law cannot excuse the behavior because it happens online and the owners operate overseas. "The Internet needs to be free not lawless.Now Internet is becoming the glue of international commerce in today's global economy.But it's also been turned into a tool for online thieves to sell counterfeit and pirated goods, making hundreds of millions of dollars off of stolen intellectual property.

In May, a congressional anti-piracy caucus condemned Canada, China, Mexico, Russia and Spain for failing to crack down on Internet piracy and said theft of intellectual property in those countries was at "alarming levels."

In addition to the music, movie and TV industries, the bill has received the backing of newspapers, authors and publishers but it has been condemned by the the Electronic Freedom Foundation (EFF) as an "Internet censorship" bill. "Blacklisting entire sites out of the domain name system," the group said, is a "reckless scheme that will undermine global Internet infrastructure and censor legitimate online speech."

While it received unanimous support in committee, the bill is likely to run into some opposition when it reaches the floor of the Senate or the House of Representatives, either during the current session or in January, when the new Congress convenes.

Senator Ron Wyden, a Democrat from Oregon, said Thursday that while online copyright infringement is a legitimate concern the bill "as it's written today is the wrong medicine.It seems almost like using a bunker-busting cluster bomb when what you really need is a precision-guided missile, unless the legislation is modified he will seek to prevent its passage.

It is pertinent to mention that the bill some what threatens Internet openness and freedom. Even when done with good intentions, when we create blacklists and take down domains, other governments will no doubt replicate these practices -- only for more far reaching, less noble purposes..
