Evaluating the Impact of #DataExclusivity on the Price of #Pharmaceutical Imports

Large price ⬆️ when US #FTA partners enact data excl. The impact occurs after a lag, b/c the law only applies to new drugs https://t.co/AHzQMUWAbU

My new post reviews restrictions in #copyright exceptions for research that can block legal reproduction and sharing for #TDM purposes. The main point - Wealthier countries have fewer restrictions.

Post by Shirin Syed: The #TRIPS Decision no longer remains an IP waiver as proposed originally by India and South Africa and 65 co-sponsors. It lacks the comprehensive measures as the original proposal.

What do copyright and research have to do with each other? More than you might think 🖥️📚

Key highlights from SCCR/42 and way forward on work program on copyright limitations and exceptions for libraries, research, education and disabilities. @WIPO @WCL_PIJIP @EIFLnet @UofSC_CIC

.@DesyOsas & @dickkawooya in @Ipkat:

At @WIPO #SCCR42, the Africa Group's Work Program for #Copyright Exceptions and Limitations was supported by GRULAC, US, & most civil society groups; was opposed by Germany & countries from Central Europe/Baltics.

.@anubhasinha_, speaking for @cis_india at the @WIPO #SCCR42: "the Confederation of Open Access Repositories found that #copyright & licensing were an impediment to discovery of, & access to, #COVID19 research outputs, inhibiting research collaborations"

.@tenobre stresses that the lack of global minimum copyright standards for #education and #research would be beneficial for countries in the global North and the Global South equally. Global North can't continue pretending that this not the case ...

[Dick Kawooya @dickkawooya]

On the Broadcasting Treaty, we urged SCCR to include mandatory exceptions and limitations, otherwise education, research, archives and other cultural institutions will be locked out broadcast content @WIPO @EIFLnet @DesyOsas @WCL_PIJIP @UofSC @UofSC_CIC @IFLA

#SCCR42 KEI supports Proposal by the African Group for a Draft work Program on Exceptions and Limitations. It provides thoughtful way forward on important topic, something that is very important for development, in line with the priorities of the WIPO Development Agenda 2007.

[Manon Ress @Manon_Ress]

#SCCR42 Communia: In Europe and America, there's much crossborder research and education but lack of minimum rights in other part of the world. The Africa Group can change this and move toward a most equitable outcome.

[DS Wyber @dswyber]

.@ipx_xala underlines the unique potential of @WIPO to address cross-border issues, debunks the assumption that exceptions are necessarily bad for authors - well-designed exceptions can help support dissemination and enforce copyright #SCCR42

[Manon Ress @Manon_Ress]

#SCCR42 https://t.co/ET00Ri7MKR on preservation: what a good preservation provision look like? It is a pressing issue. Special collections are destroyed and lost forever due to fire, floods and war.

[DS Wyber @dswyber]

.@tenobre @communia_eu at #SCCR42 underlines that the idea that countries can update #copyrightexceptions without guidance or impulsion is wishful thinking. Before recent binding international #EU reforms, not even the EU member states were investing time in solving this issue.
