International Intellectual Property Alliance http://www.iipa.com/
The International Intellectual Property Alliance (IIPA) is a private sector coalition formed in 1984 to represent the U.S. copyright-based industries in bilateral and multilateral efforts to improve international protection of copyrighted materials. IIPA is comprised of six trade associations, each representing a significant segment of the U.S. copyright community.
The U.S. copyright-based industries are one of
the fastest-growing and most dynamic sectors of the U.S. economy.
Inexpensive and accessible reproduction technologies, however, make it easy
for copyrighted materials to be pirated in other countries.
IIPA’s goal is a legal and enforcement regime for copyright that not only deters piracy, but that also fosters technological and cultural development in these countries, and encourages local investment and employment. IIPA works closely with the U.S. Trade Representative in the annual "Special 301" reviews on whether acts, policies or practices of any foreign country deny adequate and effective protection of intellectual property rights or fair and equitable market access for U.S. persons relying on intellectual property protection. In addition, U.S. trade laws such as the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP), the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (CBERA), the Andean Trade Preferences Act (ATPA) as amended, the U.S.-Caribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act (CBTPA) and the African Growth Opportunity Act (AGOA), all permit duty-free concessionary benefits to be denied to countries which condone piracy or impose other market access barriers to U.S. copyrighted products. In the multilateral arena, IIPA is involved with the implementation of the WTO TRIPS (Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights) Agreement. IIPA works on IPR developments in bilateral initiatives such as free trade agreement (FTA) negotiations. IIPA also participates in policy developments in copyright and enforcement issues in regional initiatives such as the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) and the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC). IIPA is a non-governmental organization participating in certain copyright-related discussions at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
As technology rapidly changes, IIPA is working to ensure
that high levels of copyright protection become a central component in the legal
framework for the growth of global electronic commerce.
Strong legal protections against the theft of intellectual property are essential
for achieving the full economic and social potential of global e-commerce. To advance this goal, IIPA is working
for the prompt ratification and effective implementation of the WIPO Copyright
Treaty and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty in as many countries
as possible.
Intellectual Property
Institute Londonhttp://www.ip-institute.org.uk/
Increasing the contribution of IP to economic well-being by timely, relevant
and authoritative research and informing policy makers and public debate.
The Intellectual Property Institute membership comprises major corporations,
law firms, the Patent Office, individual legal professionals and students. Its
Board and Council of Experts draw on the wealth of experience of key players
in IP.
The Intellectual Property Institute liaises with its membership to generate
a timely and authoritative package of objective research, the results of which
are published usually through our own publications. Research findings are also
used to inform decision-making bodies in the UK, the EU and overseas. The IP
Institute has strong links with related research establishments.
The research of the Institute is increasingly on the economic and financial
aspects of intellectual property. The Institute also tries to stimulate public
debate on issues relating to intellectual property of topical interest, holding
regular seminars and organising lectures and conferences. This entitles them
to involvement in the choice of the research projects and the opportunity as
appropriate to brief the researchers and to follow the progress of the research
and to participate in the dissemination of the results e.g. to the policy makers.
