Objective
This project responds to the need identified by the European Commission to assess the impact of IPR rules on economic growth (including investment), environmental protection (including biodiversity) and social goals (including rural development). It has two main scientific and technological objectives: 1. to identify IPR-related policies which the European Commission, the EU and its member state and candidate country governments might consider implementing in support of sustainable development in Europe and elsewhere; 2. to provide data, quantitative and qualitative analysis that are useful especially to EU candidate countries and also to developing countries seeking to take maximum advantage of the provisions of TRIPS in pursuit of their sustainable development objectives. To fulfil these objectives while taking best advantage of the advanced and varied expertise of the participating organisations, the research will be targeted at the following areas: 1. promoting environmentally-sustainable development through the use of geographical indications; 2. capacity building and technical assistance for policy coherence and sustainable development; 3. exploring the flexibilities of TRIPS Article 27.3(b) to maximise policy options in biotechnology and crop breeding by: a) stimulating innovation and technology transfer, and b) facilitating the equitable sharing of benefit arising from the commercial use of biodiversity. The project will be coordinated by Queen Mary Intellectual Property Research Institute, Queen Mary, University of London with the collaboration of Ecologic, Universidad de Alicante, IP Bulgaria, the Royal Institute of International Affairs and Warwick University . Effective coordination and implementation will be ensured by periodic meetings of consortium members. Quality control will be guaranteed by a review panel of experts and stakeholders.
