Project Coordinator for IP and Communications with Consumers International (CI). CI is the only independent global campaigning voice for consumers
The Consumers International (CI) IP Watch List is a global survey that rates national copyright laws and enforcement practices from the perspective of how well they promote access to knowledge for consumers, by allowing them fair access to the fruits of their society's culture and science. The IP Watch List is based on research conducted by CIi members and partners worldwide, using a set of criteria developed by an external advisory group of experts. Amongst the sixteen countries studied, those whose IP policies and practices are most harmful to consumers are identified. A range of best practices of fairness and balance in copyright law are also highlighted.
