Patents and Standards: the Role for the WIPO SCP What is Patented? Patent Subject Matter Inventive Step (are standards too low a GATT violation?) Transparency of Patents, Disclosure of relevant claims National or global approaches? Disclosure extended beyond standards organizations Remedies to Abuses of Patent Rights Government Procurement James Love, KEI WIPO SCP, 23 March 2009

What is Patented? Patent Subject Matter Is software particularly problematic? Inherently complex inventions, that rely upon follow-on innovation and interoperability Informal literature regarding innovative ideas Patents not required to stimulate innovation Special issues regarding free software Patents on data formats create special issues Inventive Step (are standards too low a GATT violation?)

Transparency Should transparency of relevant patent claims be managed by a patchwork of national systems? Or by a global framework? Should requirements for disclosure extend beyond the members of standard making organizations, to so called patent trolls? Should WIPO test a global system for managing the constructive disclosure of patent claims on important standards?

Remedies for Abuses of Patent Rights In certain sectors, should we be moving away from strong exclusive rights, to liablity rules for relevant patents on key standards? How does TRIPS framework address refusals to license on reasonable terms and conditions? Article 31.k of TRIPS Article 44.2 of TRIPS Will Bilateral, Regional of Plurilateral Agreements undermine TRIPS flexaiblities FTAs, EPAs, ACTA, etc
