Synergies between IP governance and South –South Cooperation on IP and Development First WIPO Interregional Meeting on South-South Cooperation on IP Governance; Genetic Resources, Traditional Knowledge and Folklore; and Copyright and Related Rights 8 August 2012 Brasilia

South South Cooperation : Why ?  South South Cooperation (SCC) is a well established principle and priority in the United Nations system of which WIPO is a member.  1974: - First UN General Assembly resolution on SSC. - Establishment of UNDP special unit on SSC  2009: - The High-level UN Conference on South-South Cooperation is held in Nairobi, Kenya. - Requires UN agencies to support and implement SSC  SSC is not a substitute to North/South cooperation but a complement to it.

South South Cooperation in IP : Why ? (1)  It makes sense for countries with similar levels of development and views on IP to seek to benefit from their respective experiences  This is a fundamental premise of the WIPO Development Agenda : IP should take into consideration different in levels of development:  DA recommendation 1: WIPO technical assistance shall be development-oriented, taking into account different levels of development of Member States  DA recommendation 15: Norm-setting activities shall take into account different levels of development

South South Cooperation on IP : Why ? (2)  Changes in global geography/landscape of innovation provide further momentum to SSC on IP and development:  Increase of IPRs applications from a number of emerging and developing economies  Development of IP regimes in developing countries  Increase of IP expertise in developing countries  Regionalization of IP cooperation  Increase of SSC on the ground and in different fora 
