A symposium on Lifescience public policy patent landscape.

The symposium is conducted by WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) & FAO (Food & Agricultural Organization) on 7th and 8th of April 2008.

The symposium concentrates on two main Trends..

1. Patent information as a tool of public policy
2. Improved analytical tools and access to patent information

"This Symposium aims to take a first step towards more systematically matching the policy needs – the international policy agenda on public policy issues of concern in the life sciences – with the practical capacities – the diverse resources that are now increasingly available to gather, analyze and extract key trends and findings from patent information."
