Mandate

To promote efficient intellectual property (IP) systems that support international trade, encourage investment in creation and innovation, and facilitate sustainable economic development.

   

Priority Projects

  • Inform potential policy approaches to curb the growing threat of abusive third-party funding of IP litigation.
  • Inform ongoing UN negotiations to recalibrate existing legal frameworks governing the relationship between scientific research, innovation and biodiversity preservation.
  • Lead business engagement in new treaty negotiations shaping the future of the global innovation systems.
  • Support the roll-out of tools to help small businesses better leverage their IP assets.
  • Update the flagship ICC IP Roadmap in response to new policy developments and industry trends over the past five years.
  • Champion effective policy approaches to combat counterfeiting and piracy – with a particular focus on vulnerable “hot spots”, such as free trade zones.
