34 Property and the Informal Economy” DA_34_01 Anecdotal evidence suggests that innovation is taking place in the informal economy. Yet little is known about how intangible assets are generated in the informal economy and how they are appropriated and monetized. The project offers to provide a better understanding of innovation in related sectors and the nexus between IP and the informal economy. Under implementation since January 2012. Completed by the end of 2013. An Evaluation Report of the project will be presented to the current session of the Committee. The project objective directly emanates from DA Recommendation 34: “to contribute to greater awareness and enhanced understanding of the IP and informal economy linkages among policymakers.” Conceptual Study on Innovation, Intellectual Property and the Informal Economy presented to the eleventh session of the Committee (CDIP/11/INF/5). planned country studies have been completed and will be presented to the current session of the Committee. Conceptual Study on Innovation, Intellectual Property and the Informal Economy available at: 19, 30, 31 Tools for Access to Patent information – Phase II” This proposed project aims to provide developing countries, including LDCs, upon request, with services will facilitate the use of patent information on specific technology for facilitating their indigenous innovation and R&D in cooperation with other IGOs. Phase II of the project aims to continue with the preparation of new Patent Landscape Reports (PLRs) in the areas identified in Phase I, and by Implementation started in December 2012. To improve access to technologies and knowledge of patenting trends and innovation patterns in specific areas of technology. Accordingly, the main outputs of Phase II will be the preparation of six new PLRs on specific topics of particular interest and priority for LDCs and developing countries in the areas defined during Phase I. Enhance WIPO’s existing website on patent landscaping to further 4 PLRs were completed, two already completed and published PLRs on ritonavir and selected neglected diseases have been updated. Methodology Guidelines for the preparation of PLRs were completed and prepared to be published during the first quarter of 2014. Two Regional Workshops on Patent Analytics were organized last year in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Manila, Philippines.
