Maintain strong IP protection.
Recognize the critical role effective IP
protections have played and will play in
defeating the virus and uphold and promote
those protections accordingly.
2. Remove trade barriers.
Unnecessary regulatory requirements,
taxes, tariffs, export bans, stockpiling and
distribution burdens will only hurt the
dissemination of COVID-19 innovations.
3. Keep working systems in place
and avoid creating new ones. The
unprecedented volume and progress of
research and development collaborations
shows that IP is already being licensed
effectively through existing programs. We
do not believe new programs or initiatives
are necessary to support IP licensing.
The coalition contends that, together, these
actions will “support the timely and effective
development and delivery of innovative and
creative solutions to this pandemic.”
