Earlier this year, The World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) announced a controversial new programme to extend the benefits of IPRs to new beneficiaries, such as local communities and indigenous peoples. The programme was launched around the same time that the WTO and WIPO announced that they would be teaming up to help Southern countries implement the Trade-Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs) agreement. Is the aim of WIPO’s ‘new beneficiaries’ programme really to help the groups it is targeting, or is WIPO simply acting as the handmaiden of WTO to ‘mainstream IPRs’ to these groups and pave the way for TRIPs?
