IP, TRIPS Waiver and The Knowledge Economy

26 May 2022


Join Dr Hyo Yoon Kang (Kent University Law School) and Shree Baphna (FPV) in a discussion that sheds light on intellectual property, the structural perspective of the TRIPS waiver, the TRIPS agreement, and the knowledge economy more broadly. ⁠
⁠
Fortuitously, this episode is launched as the WTO members meet to discuss the TRIPS waiver in the lead-up to the 12th WTO Ministerial Conference on June 12th, 2022. As Hyo puts it, this can be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reassess the hidden assumptions & premises on which IP laws are based whilst providing a political alternative.⁠

If we can speak about recovery for some, we must acknowledge that #COVID has been a thriving time for others, particularly #BigPharma.

#Pfizer's vaccine is one of the most lucrative products in history, amassing nearly $37 bn

"When we talk about accountability to partnerships, there have to be parameters, inexcusable promotion and protection of #HumanRights & scrutiny of how partnerships work, & how benefits are shared.

"The absurd & unconscionable profits raked in by #BigPharma during #COVID are paid in human lives, particularly in the global South".
