*About the Symposium*

The Second South Centre Symposium on Examining IP Enforcement from a
Development Perspective was aimed at providing developing country
representatives an international forum to discuss policy challenges they
face on intellectual property (IP) enforcement and how to integrate
development concerns into these discussions. It provided an opportunity to
examine the trend towards increasing global IP enforcement, including IP
forum shopping and capture, misunderstandings about IP enforcement, recent
case law developments, abuse of IP enforcement procedures, and strategic
considerations and recommendations.

South Centre is an intergovernmental policy thinktank of developing
countries working on trade, climate change, IPRs, financing for development,
global governance and other issues. It has over 50 member countries.

Best regards,

Vikas Nath
