Background
SUMMARY: The United States Patent and
Trademark Office (USPTO) and United
States Copyright Office (USCO)
announce a public roundtable
discussion concerning the work at the
World Intellectual Property
Organization (WIPO) in the Standing
Committee on Copyright and Related
Rights (SCCR) on a proposed Treaty On
the Protection of the Rights of
Broadcasting Organizations. Members of
the public are invited to attend the
roundtable, or to participate in the
roundtable discussion, on the topics
outlined in the supplementary
information section of this notice.
DATES: The roundtable will be held on
Tuesday, September 5, 2006, beginning
at 1 p.m. and ending at 3 p.m.
ADDRESSES: The roundtable will be held
in the Atrium Conference Room at the
USPTO, 600 Dulany Street, Madison
West, 10th Floor, Alexandria, VA 22313.
Requests for participation as a member
of the roundtable are required and
should be directed to the USPTO, 600
Dulany Street, Madison West, 10th
Floor, Alexandria, VA 22313, marked to
the attention of Jill Taylor. You may also
submit requests by facsimile at 571–
273–0085 or by electronic mail through
the Internet to Jill.Taylor@USPTO.gov.
Requests for participation as a member
of the roundtable should indicate the
following information:
1. The name of the person desiring to
participate;
2. The organization or organizations
represented by that person, if any;
3. Contact information (address,
telephone, and e-mail);
4. Information on the specific focus or
interest of the participant (or his or her
organization) and any questions or
For the past eight years and since the
first meeting of the Standing Committee
on Copyright and Related Rights in
November 1998, WIPO has been
addressing the topic of updating the
protection of the rights of broadcasting
organizations. Although broadcasters
rights are protected under some existing
international agreements, such as under
the 1961 Convention for the Protection
of Performers, Producers of Phonograms
and Broadcasting Organizations and the
World Trade Organization’s Agreement
on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual
Property Rights, there has been
increasing concern that changes in
technology and the opening up of much
of the world to commercial
broadcasting, have made the protection
provided in those agreements ineffective
to protect broadcast signals against
piracy.
At the September 2005 WIPO General
Assembly, the decision was taken to
hold additional meetings of the SCCR to
permit further discussion of the possible
treaty and to invite the 2006 WIPO
General Assembly to convene a
Diplomatic Conference in December
2006 or at an appropriate time in 2007.
WIPO posts various documents from
their meetings, such as reports, member
state submissions, meeting agendas, and
[official] texts prepared by the Chair of
the SCCR. The most recent text available
from July 31, 2006—‘‘Revised Draft
Basic Proposal for The WIPO Treaty on
the Protection of Broadcasting
Organizations’’ can be found at https://
www.wipo.int/meetings/en/
doc_details.jsp?doc_id=64712. On
August 1, 2006, the United States made
a submission to WIPO addressing the
issue of ‘‘netcasting’’ which is available
at https://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/
dcom/olia/ and will shortly be available
on the WIPO Web site.
Throughout this process in WIPO,
many points of view have been

represented, including those of
developed and developing countries,
and many non-governmental
organizations (NGOs), and numerous
industry, creator and content owner
groups. The USPTO and USCO have
participated in several informal
meetings with interested parties such as
broadcasters, netcasters, telecom
companies, Internet service providers,
content industries, creators and other
NGOs, in order to obtain views and
information relevant to the deliberations
in the SCCR on this proposed treaty.
In order to allow further opportunity
for interested parties to comment,
USPTO and USCO are convening this
roundtable to provide another forum for
such parties to provide their views of
and additional information related to
the proposed treaty. In particular, the
participants should be prepared to
identify and discuss more fully the
issues and problems associated with the
recent text available from July 31, 2006,
the ‘‘Revised Draft Basic Proposal for
The WIPO Treaty on the Protection of
Broadcasting Organizations.’’

provide guidance and oversight of the
dose reconstruction and claims
compensation programs for veterans of
U.S.-sponsored atmospheric nuclear
weapons tests from 1945–1962; veterans

those regions at the conclusion of World
War II. In addition, the advisory board
will assist VA and DTRA in
communicating with the veterans.
Radiation dose reconstruction has
been carried out by the Department of
Defense under the Nuclear Test
Personnel Review (NTPR) program since
the 1970s. DTRA is the executive agent
for the NTPR program which provides
participation data and actual or
estimated radiation dose information to
veterans and the VA.
