Dear all,

I would like to invite you to read and sign the Washington declaration on Intellectual property. The declaration is a result of the discussions in the Global Congress on public interest and IP, that gathered a group of over 170 policymakers and advocates from approximately 35 countries. The Declaration provides a series of specific recommendations for action by the international intellectual property public interest community and covers topics such as: valuing openess and the public domain, strengthening limitations and exceptions and setting public interest priorities for patent reform.
