 We have the 22nd meeting of the Standing Committee of the Law of Patent that used to finish last Friday. And the meeting went extremely well. It was a great tone among delegates, and delegates were able to discuss all the five agenda items that have been there on the discussion of the committee in previous sessions. The discussion mainly focused on the issue of quality of patent. That's what the first issue on the particular issue of the quality of patents. Two documents were prepared by the secretariat and discussed during the meeting, one on an advantageous step and a second on the issue of disclosure of patents. With great level of interest, not only for diplomats in Geneva that were attended in the meeting but also by experts from Capital that were, again, extremely happy that this technical and substantive patent and those issues are, again, back to the discussions in the committee what made them feel that the relevant issues of patents again subject to multilateral discussions. Then the committee elaborated a little before on different proposals that have been tabled before on very relevant issues like the issue of patent and health, exceptional limitations, transfer of technology and the protection of the confidentiality of communication between client and patent advisors. On these five issues, the committee agreed in for the war for the next meeting and there are very long lease of activities that the delegates were able to agree after very difficult discussions because one of the characteristics of the committee is that in any of the five patents, the issues on interest of one group or region may not be exactly the same of the region. So for the chair, it was extremely difficult to pick up among all those issues, those that were able, first, delegates to agree upon and then that would be relevant for the committee to discuss in the future. So the committee will continue the work in the five items. They agreed that for the time being it continues to be a fight-finding exercise without any activity leading to harmonization at this stage. With this in mind, the committee agreed among other issues first to have a compilation made by the secretariat on member state experience and case studies on the effectiveness of exceptional limitations and in particular on addressing development concerns. Secondly, the committee will have a half-day sharing session, an experience of experts among different regions in how to assess inventive steps, not only on prosecution in front of patent offices, but also the impact on opposition and the impact on revocation process among many other activities that are coming for the next session. So we have a great deal of hope that there is a spirit and tone of the discussion in which everybody learned from the experience and order and we have been able to identify best practices around the world with continue in future discussions of the committee.
