Geneva (Switzerland), 26th August 2008: Life Sciences Symposium.

The World Intellectual Property is organising the "Life Sciences Symposium: Patent Landscaping and Transfer of Technology under Multilateral Environmental Agreements" to be held in Geneva (Switzerland) on 26th August 2008.

The Symposium will explore intellectual property (IP) rights and their role in the development and transfer of technologies within the context of Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs). Many MEAs contain technology transfer provisions that give rise to IP issues. The event will provide an opportunity for policy makers and other stakeholders to share their experiences and explore the IP dimensions of technology transfer provisions in MEAs.

The event is open to the general public and is free of charge.
