KEI Statement at WIPO SCP 14
Dear Chairman,
Congratulations to the Chair and the Vice Chairs for their elections.
KEI is an NGO that focuses on new thinking about innovation, and also the protection of consumers.
Our comments will focus on the proposal by Brazil to address the SCP work program on patent limitations and exceptions, as set out in SCP/14/7.
KEI supports all of the elements of work set out in paragraphs 25 to 27 of SCP/14/7, which we see as logical and useful steps to begin an empirically based discussion of patent limitations and exceptions, focused on practical concerns.
