The IP Waiver at the WTO: A Discussion of the Implications for IP, Innovation, and Public Health
Wednesday, June 23, 2021
1:00 – 2:30 pm ET via Zoom
RSVP here
The United States has announced that it supports a petition from India and South Africa to the World Trade Organization seeking a waiver of all intellectual property rights under international treaties on drugs, vaccines, or other responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. The IP waiver petition has provoked an intense policy debate over the role of intellectual property in healthcare innovation, drug development, and patient access. The WTO members have now begun the process of negotiating the precise language of the IP waiver. While the scope of the IP waiver, its implementation by each country, and its ultimate practical impact are currently unknown, this is an unprecedented development in IP and healthcare policy. This academic panel hosted by the Technology, Innovation, and Intellectual Property program of the Classical Liberal Institute at NYU School of Law will discuss these and other policy issues in the IP waiver.
