CIVIL SOCIETY PARTICIPATION AT THE WORLD INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ORGANIZATION
(WIPO): LAUNCHING CIEL'S A CITIZEN'S GUIDE TO WIPO



November 6, 2007

Room 602



American University's Washington College of Law

4801 Massachusetts Avenue, NW

Washington, DC



Lunch and Welcome, 12 :00pm

Panel Discussion, 12 :30-1 :30pm



The panel discussion will reflect civil society's successes at the World
Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and review the challenges, both
substantive and procedural, to making WIPO a sustainable
development-friendly organization.

The objective of A Citizen's Guide to WIPO is to provide citizens and civil
society organizations with the practical information required to promote and
enhance their effective participation in WIPO discussions and activities.
CIEL's A Citizen's Guide to WIPO describes WIPO's role in the development,
implementation, and enforcement of intellectual property rules, and seeks to
enable civil society to effectively insert public interest concerns into
WIPO's programs and activities.
