Explained: WIPO Diplomatic Conference on Genetic Resources and Associated Traditional Knowledge

Should inventors be required to disclose the use of genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge when applying for a patent?
From May 13-24, 2024, WIPO member states and accredited observer organizations will come together for the final round of negotiations on a new international legal instrument on genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge.
The future instrument aims to enhance the efficacy, transparency and quality of the patent system, and prevent patents from being erroneously granted for inventions that are not novel or inventive with regard to genetic resources and traditional knowledge associated with genetic resources.
