    The Geneva Declaration on the Future of the World Intellectual Property Organization is a document signed in 2004 by a number of non profit organizations, scientists, academics and other individuals urging the World Intellectual Property Organization WIPO to focus on the needs of developing countries with respect to intellectual property legislation. The authors and signatories believe that the world is facing a crisis in the governance of knowledge , technology , and culture , in particular due to unequal access to vital medicine s and education , anticompetitive economics economic practices, concentration of ownership , technological measures such as digital rights management DRM , the fair compensation of authors and creators, and the locking up of the public domain by private property private interests. The Declaration criticises WIPO for embracing a culture of creating and expanding monopoly privileges, often without regard to consequences, and calls for the organization to shift its focus from intellectual property as an end in and of itself, to a means for benefiting All humanity humanity . In particular, it calls for a moratorium on the now common practice of harmonizing intellectual property legislation throughout the developing world to the laws as they exist in the United States and Europe .

  1. Intellectual property law in Senegal

    Orphan date February 2009 Enforcement and attitudes As in most developing countries , intellectual property protection in Senegal is weak. Copyright infringement is not regarded as a crime, and it is widely accepted by consumers. Senegal s criminal law provisions do not provide for criminal procedures in case of trademark counterfeiting or copyright piracy on a commercial scale. In addition, because of budget constraints, Senegal s Copyright Office has had difficulty enforcing sanctions against individuals who infringe copyrights in the course of business, including hackers and distributors of infringed copies. Nonetheless, the Copyright Office has begun vigorous attempts against counterfeit media, seizing items as well as putting stickers on legal merchandise. It is currently continuing these enforcement efforts. Microsoft began an anti piracy campaign in Senegal in early 2004 and reports some success in converting users of pirated Microsoft products through the sale of deeply discounted Microsoft licenses. ref name ccg http www.buyusa.gov westafrica en senegal ccg.pdf Senegal Country Commercial Guide 2008 .
