>Geneva 2 February (Martin Khor) -- The public's access to knowledge is
>increasingly hindered by imbalanced intellectual property regimes which
>are tilted to the advantage of IP holders vis-a-vis users and consumers,
>and there is a need to establish a treaty or at least principles to
>redress this imbalance as part of a "development agenda" in fora dealing
>with intellectual property protection.
>
>This was a key message emerging at the start of an experts meeting on
>the WIPO Development Agenda and a treaty on access to knowledge being
>held here on 3-4 February. The meeting, attended by 60 academics,
>researchers, public interest groups and diplomats, is organized by the
>Consumer Project on Technology (CPTech), the International Federation of
>Library Associations and the Third World Network.
