The combined 3rd Global Congress on IP and the Public Interest and the Open AIR conference was hosted by our IP Unit  in December 2013 and brought together IP issue leaders from around the world in Cape Town to discuss various issues under the theme Refining the positive agenda: Global questions, local answers? This theme emphasised the refrain against one-size-fits-all approaches for all aspects of IP policy, including “the public interest”.  Many of the event’s presentations are now available online and can be accessed through the congress’ online programme. Moreover, more than two dozen video clips from the event can now be found here.
