&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Negotiations are at a &amp;ldquo;critical and sensitive&amp;rdquo; stage in Geneva, say sources&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;India runs the risk of being excluded from a proposal it co-authored at the World Trade Organisation (WTO) negotiations, in 2020, to &amp;ldquo;temporarily waive&amp;rdquo; intellectual property rights (IPR) held, by primarily Western countries, on vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics for covid-19.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Geneva Health Files, a Switzerland-based newsletter portal that tracks developments in intellectual property, first reported on Friday that &amp;ldquo;a small group&amp;rdquo; of WTO members were &amp;ldquo;discussing suggestions&amp;rdquo; to exclude drug manufacturers in India and China &amp;mdash; two major, global suppliers of medicine &amp;mdash; from prospective waivers to IPR obligations that result from the Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) which WTO members are committed to uphold.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Hindu has independently confirmed these developments, though sources add that these talks are far from being concluded and outcomes could dramatically change.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;India and South Africa had jointly sponsored a proposal in October 2020 and this was updated, with representation from several low&amp;ndash; and middle&amp;ndash;income countries &amp;mdash; though with the notable omission of China &amp;mdash; to expand the scope of the waiver to &amp;ldquo;all health products and technologies&amp;rdquo; and to have the waiver in place for at least a year.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Negotiations are at a &amp;ldquo;critical and sensitive&amp;rdquo; stage in Geneva, say sources&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;India runs the risk of being excluded from a proposal it co-authored at the World Trade Organisation (WTO) negotiations, in 2020, to &amp;ldquo;temporarily waive&amp;rdquo; intellectual property rights (IPR) held, by primarily Western countries, on vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics for covid-19.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Geneva Health Files, a Switzerland-based newsletter portal that tracks developments in intellectual property, first reported on Friday that &amp;ldquo;a small group&amp;rdquo; of WTO members were &amp;ldquo;discussing suggestions&amp;rdquo; to exclude drug manufacturers in India and China &amp;mdash; two major, global suppliers of medicine &amp;mdash; from prospective waivers to IPR obligations that result from the Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) which WTO members are committed to uphold.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Hindu has independently confirmed these developments, though sources add that these talks are far from being concluded and outcomes could dramatically change.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;India and South Africa had jointly sponsored a proposal in October 2020 and this was updated, with representation from several low&amp;ndash; and middle&amp;ndash;income countries &amp;mdash; though with the notable omission of China &amp;mdash; to expand the scope of the waiver to &amp;ldquo;all health products and technologies&amp;rdquo; and to have the waiver in place for at least a year.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Negotiations are at a &amp;ldquo;critical and sensitive&amp;rdquo; stage in Geneva, say sources&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;India runs the risk of being excluded from a proposal it co-authored at the World Trade Organisation (WTO) negotiations, in 2020, to &amp;ldquo;temporarily waive&amp;rdquo; intellectual property rights (IPR) held, by primarily Western countries, on vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics for covid-19.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Geneva Health Files, a Switzerland-based newsletter portal that tracks developments in intellectual property, first reported on Friday that &amp;ldquo;a small group&amp;rdquo; of WTO members were &amp;ldquo;discussing suggestions&amp;rdquo; to exclude drug manufacturers in India and China &amp;mdash; two major, global suppliers of medicine &amp;mdash; from prospective waivers to IPR obligations that result from the Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) which WTO members are committed to uphold.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Hindu has independently confirmed these developments, though sources add that these talks are far from being concluded and outcomes could dramatically change.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;India and South Africa had jointly sponsored a proposal in October 2020 and this was updated, with representation from several low&amp;ndash; and middle&amp;ndash;income countries &amp;mdash; though with the notable omission of China &amp;mdash; to expand the scope of the waiver to &amp;ldquo;all health products and technologies&amp;rdquo; and to have the waiver in place for at least a year.&lt;/p&gt;

India risks being edged out of patent waiver plan at WTO -Jacob Koshy and Suhasini Haidar

-The Hindu Negotiations are at a “critical and sensitive” stage in Geneva, say sources India runs the risk of being excluded from a proposal it co-authored at the World Trade Organisation (WTO) negotiations, in 2020, to “temporarily waive” intellectual property rights (IPR) held, by primarily Western countries, on vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics for covid-19. Geneva Health Files, a Switzerland-based newsletter portal that tracks developments in intellectual property, first reported on Friday that “a small group” of WTO members were “discussing suggestions” to exclude drug manufacturers in India and China — two major, global suppliers of medicine — from prospective waivers to IPR obligations that result from the Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) which WTO members are committed to uphold. The Hindu has independently confirmed these developments, though sources add that these talks are far from being concluded and outcomes could dramatically change. India and South Africa had jointly sponsored a proposal in October 2020 and this was updated, with representation from several low– and middle–income countries — though with the notable omission of China — to expand the scope of the waiver to “all health products and technologies” and to have the waiver in place for at least a year.
