Smaller Drug Companies May Have Niche Role in Neglected Diseases
Date: 31 October 2006

(SMEs) in focusing on diseases prevalent in developing countries that are neglected by larger companies, according to a recent seminar. The seminar was held by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in cooperation with a United Kingdom-based free-market think thank, the Stockholm Network.  Pharma Marketletter

Russia pulls up the drawbridge
Date: 05 October 2006
It is Gazprom’s aggressive pursuit of overseas assets that is raising serious concerns in Europe – most prominently, its 51% stake in the North European Gas Pipeline (NEGP), which will transport gas under the Baltic sea into Germany. The undersea route, which bypasses the Baltic states, Belarus and Poland, has added around $3bn to the total cost of the project, leading to speculation that economic considerations are secondary to political motives. Upon completion in 2010, the NEGP will vastly increase Gazprom’s access into the lucrative western European market – it currently provides 30% of Europe’s gas – while allowing it to bypass and isolate current eastern European transit countries, such as Ukraine and Poland.

Flavour of the Month in Brussels
Date: 30 September 2006
At a recent seminar in Brussels, co-organizd by the Stockholm network, the leading pan-European think tank and market-oriented network, and MIP European SMEs were again on the agenda. More specifically, the topic for discussion was: Do IP rights represent a barrier to innovation or an engine for growth for SMEs?
The issue of IP rights and their usefulness to SMEs is certainly a hot topic in Brussels, and the attendees at the seminar expressed a renage of different views. More interesting, however, was the fact that the SMEs themselves could not agree on one specific model for IP exploitation. Prospect Magazine
