We will craft policies that incentivize the creation of new technologies, that incentivize research and that support innovation in developing countries. We recognize the importance of an enabling environment at all levels, including enabling regulatory and governance frameworks, in nurturing science, innovation, the dissemination of technologies, particularly to micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as industrial diversification and value added to commodities. We also recognize the importance of adequate, balanced and effective protection of intellectual property rights in both developed and developing countries in line with nationally defined priorities and in full respect of WTO rules. We recognize voluntary patent pooling and other business models, which can enhance access to technology and foster innovation. We will promote social innovation to support social well-being and sustainable livelihoods.

The embedded tweet links to an IP Watch article that summarizes two speeches that go well beyond what this article 116 has to offer. Perhaps it is becoming clear to leaders that the IPR system has systemic issues. In spite of the systemic issues with the financial system (ref. #a4i2f - II.F. Addressing systemic issues) which receive considerable attention, the systemic issues with the IPR system are still being neglected in the development agenda.
