[edit] helped

"helped stay some of the effects international patent protection policy". This is obscure and ought to be re-written.
S.

The first sentence is not a suitable introduction. I think that it assumes that the person has arrived from somewhere specific. What is the Doha Declaration?

This article makes no sense. There is far more to the Doha Declaration than its paragraph on intellectual property law. A complete rewrite is necessary. I am researching this presently, but this isn't my field so help would be appreciated. Vonsnip 17:57, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 2/06 In The News

Anyone know how this article relates to this current event? I'm a little confused. Schwael 15:05, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

It doesn't. The article is about an internationally agreed declaration. That article is just a joint statement about the Danish cartoon controversy. 221.134.202.220 20:50, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I take it nothing much happened "before the end of 2002"?

"We instruct the Council for TRIPS to find an expeditious solution to this problem and to report to the General Council before the end of 2002."

To put it bluntly, did they? (It is perhaps one of the web's greatest weaknesses right now that the majority of technologies do not encourage links pointing forward in time.)

I first found an Oxfam America article stating that talks broke down in 2002, but providing no detail or references. Looking a bit further, though, I turned up this set of pages, particularly this one, with plenty of links - but still seeming to end at 2005, and with no clear summary.

Does anyone know of a nice overview of events & decisions since the declaration, or fancy wading through the CPTech stuff to create one? - IMSoP 21:20, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
