SO--CP--Biopiracy AdvantageTournament: Greenhill | Round: 6 | Opponent: Harrison AC | Judge: Sai Karavadi 2 – CPWe affirm that the member nations of the World Trade Organization ought to:Modify Intellectual Property Protection of Indigenous Knowledge through implementation of a Sui Generis Intellectual Property Regime that reflects consistent consultation with local communities and traditional communities.Mandate widespread ratification, application, and the enforcement of the Swakokpmund Protocol ensuring that local communities and traditional communities are guaranteed continued use of Traditional Medical Knowledge in the traditional context without any legal implication and without licenses and subject to pre-determined sharing of benefits.Implement an opt-in opt-out system where Indigenous Groups are given the right to refuse to relinquish control of Intellectual Property to non-Indigenous Intellectual Property Holders over Traditional Knowledge.Mandate a disclosure of origin requirement as a pre-requisite of Intellectual Property Protection applications.The Swakokpmund Protocol is an Intellectual Property Regime that solves exploitation and protects Traditional Knowledge and People while still allowing usage of Intellectual Property in Medical Innovation – Sua Generis emphasis of collective rights solves IPCB issues with IPRs.Sinkala 17, Ruth M.

It also means zero solvency, absent spec, states can circumvent the Aff's policy since there is no delineated way to enforce the affirmative which means there's no way to actualize any of their solvency arguments.ESpec isn't regressive or arbitrary- it's an active part of the WTO is central to any advocacy about international IP law since the only uniqueness of a reduction of IP protections is how effective its enforcement is. | 9/4/21 |
