Interventionon GRULAC proposal at SCP/24

Madam Chair,

My delegation reaffirms its support to the proposal by the GRULAC vide document, SCP/22/5.The Delegation also reiterates that any revision of the 1979 WIPO Model

Law for Developing Countries on Inventionsshould fully &adequately reflect the developments of the recent past as well as the TRIPS flexibilitiesin respect of the legislative &policy options for the developing countries.

Having said that, we believe that the proposal however, should not be construed to mean any harmonization of patent laws.

Thank you, Madam Chair.
