Hassink 2 September 2020 Reflections on IP: An interview with WIPO Director General Francis Gurry Francis Gurry reflects on his experience over the past : WIPO / E. Berrod 12 years at the helm of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and discusses some of the major Photo challenges that lie ahead for the international intellectual property (IP) community. What has been the high point of your career at WIPO? The fact that the Organization now has on board so many fine professionals who are collaborating across vertical reporting lines to develop and bring some of our best new ideas and projects to fruition. I don’t think there is anything now that does not require horizontal collaboration. It has been great to see that come together. What has been your greatest achievement as Director General? I think that is for others to judge. But for me, the Marrakesh Treaty and the Accessible Books Consortium (ABC) stand out (see box). They successfully address a specific need and have the good will of all member states and relevant stakeholders. My colleagues have done wonderful work Director General Francis Gurry has been in building up the ABC Global Book Service, a repertoire at the helm of WIPO for the last 12 years. of over 635,000 works in more than 80 languages, which is one of the key ways the ABC makes operational the legal framework established by member states in the Marrakesh Treaty. That has been a great exercise. What enabled that success? First, the Marrakesh Treaty and the ABC deal with a specific problem, which makes it easier to measure the impact and raise comfort levels around the proposed solution. WIPO MAGAZINE 3 Second, they address a truly international problem. Thanks to the Marrakesh Treaty, it is now possible to produce just one accessible version of a publication in a given About the Accessible language and to make it available through the ABC Global Books Consortium Book Service, thereby eliminating the need to produce multiple accessible versions of the same publication in WIPO and its partners created the Accessible the same language for different countries.

Berrod Photos Adoption of the Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works for Persons Who Are Blind, Visually Impaired or Otherwise Print Disabled, Marrakesh, Morocco, June 2013. About the Marrakesh Treaty The Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works for Persons Who Are Blind, Visually Impaired or Otherwise Print Disabled addresses the global “book famine.” It requires contracting parties to adopt national law pro- visions that permit the production of books in accessible formats, such as Braille, e-text, audio or large print, by organizations, so-called authorized entities, that serve people who are blind, visually impaired or otherwise print disabled. It also allows for the exchange of such accessible texts across national boundaries, without the need to request permission from the copyright owner. The World Health Organization estimates that 253 million people are living with visual impair- ments around the world, with over 90 percent of them located in lower-income countries. The Treaty was adopted on June 27, 2013, at a diplomatic conference organized by WIPO and hosted by the Kingdom of Morocco in Marrakesh. The Treaty entered into force on September 30, 2016, three months after it gained the necessary 20 ratifications or accessions by WIPO member WIPO Director General Francis Gurry and recording states.

    Chapter 1 Progress in Science and Technology and Socioeconomic Changes Section 2 Contribution of Science and Technology to Global Issues From the end of the 19th century to the 20th century, science and technology has rapidly advanced. Chemical industry, electrical industry and heavy industry and so on emerged and we have advanced forward to ages of mass production and mass consumption, when goods could be transported in bulk to distant locations for a short period, as physical distribution, including railways, cars and airplanes, developed. This accompanied the mass disposal of goods and mass consumption of energy, highlighting the Chapter 1 risk of depletion of limited resources, global warming, the destruction of ecosystems and the crisis in the global environment. Science and technology that changed our lives were explained in Section 1 of this chapter, but as well as changing our lives in terms of key daily lifestyle elements, science and technology are also crucial to solve global issues such as climate change, natural resource depletion and energy. There are significant expectations as to how science and technology can contribute to solve global issues. This section addresses the social contribution of science and technology in Japan domestically and internationally. 1 Contribution to Global Warming Countermeasures ○ Global warming state Climate changes caused by global warming are Average global surface temperature (land + sea) anomaly one of the most urgent problems which the world faces.

All are invited to attend. SPECIAL DAY/TIME/LOCATION: Friday, September 20, 2019 – 2:30pm in CL 2003 Dr. Jeffrey I. Seeman, Department of Chemistry, University of Richmond Title: Was Plagiarism Involved in the Conceptualization of the Woodward-Hoffmann Rules? Abstract: In 1981, Roald Hoffmann and Kenichi Fukui shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry “for their theories, developed independently, concerning the course of chemical reactions.” Had Robert B. Woodward (1917 – 1979) lived two years longer, he would surely have received his second Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his contributions to the Woodward-Hoffmann rules. In the March 29, 2004 issue of Chemical & Engineering News, E. J. Corey wrote in his Priestley Medal Address, “On May 4, 1964, I suggested to my colleague R. B. Woodward a simple explanation involving the symmetry of the perturbed (HOMO) molecular orbitals for the stereoselective cyclobutene/1,3-butadiene and 1,3,5-hexatriene/cyclohexadiene conversions that provided the basis for the further development of these ideas into what became known as the Woodward-Hoffmann rules.” Letters between Corey and Hoffmann in 1981 and 1984 and other relevant information will be shown and discussed.

  • GEG WP 93 the Governance of the World Intellectual Property
    Updated 26 MarchMay 2015 2015 The Global Economic Governance Programme University of Oxford The Governance of the World Intellectual Property Organization: A Reference Guide Carolyn Deere Birkbeck* Abstract The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is the multilateral system’s key agency charged with intellectual property (IP). This working paper is the first of two documents prepared as background for a political analysis of WIPO’s governance and reform debates. This first paper presents an overview of the core components of WIPO’s governance system, described in practical, readily-accessible terms for policymakers and stakeholders in the form of a factual reference guide. The second paper provides a chronological review of governance discussions at WIPO since 1967, as well as actions taken by Member States and the Secretariat to date. The third paper offers a political assessment of WIPO’s governance and reform efforts, critically reviewing the power politics and dynamics of governance. After presenting a framework for analysing WIPO’s governance system, this paper reviews the origins of WIPO and sets out its current functions and activities, as well as the leadership, size and structure of the Secretariat. The core of the paper identifies and examines the core components of WIPO’s current governance system in five thematic areas: mandate and legal foundations; decision-making structures, processes and practices for Member State representation; financial arrangements (e.g., income sources and budget process); accountability mechanisms (i.e., for oversight, audit and evaluation); and transparency and external relations. The paper highlights that WIPO’s financial model is unique among UN organisations: the organization relies almost entirely on self-financing, raising revenue from private sector fees in exchange for treaty-related services rather than from Member State contributions.

  • Development of Microporous PE Films to Improve Lithium Ion Batteries

LIBs are necessary in modern society as a power supply for portable equipment such as cellular phones and notebook computers. The greatest problem with using LIBs has been ensuring safety when using a Li compound and a flammable organic electrolytic solution. The most important point for ensuring the safety of LIBs has been using a separator to prevent contact between the cathode and the anode. The Asahi Kasei Corporation has developed the safety function of the separator and improved the performance of the LIB. The manufacture of battery separators made of microporous PE films was studied for PE- solvent systems (two-component phase-separation systems), as well as for new systems in which an inorganic powder was added to the PE and the solvent in this two-component system to produce three-component phase-separation systems. This method is based on thermally induced phase separation.

During the charging process, however, the cycling life is limited by dendrite 2+ formation because the desolvation process of hexaaqua zinc cation complex [Zn(H 2O) 6] is incomplete and sluggish. Herein, two Zr-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) called UIO-66 and MOF-808 respectively, were used as additive into the electrolyte in order to improve the cycling life and accelerate the desolvation process. With the foundation of coin cell testing platform of Zn vs Zn symmetric battery, it can be clearly seen that the overpotential is decreased and the cycling life is prolonged. With the help of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), it is proved that the desolvation process can be accelerated with the help of Zr-based MOFs additive.
