SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background:
For the past eight years and since the
first meeting of the Standing Committee
on Copyright and Related Rights (SCCR)
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 2006 WIPO General
Assembly, the decision was taken to
convene two special sessions of the
SCCR to clarify the outstanding issues,
the first one in January 2007, and the
second one in June 2007, to be held in
conjunction with the meeting of the
preparatory committee. It is understood
that the special sessions of the SCCR
should aim to agree and finalize, on a
signal–based approach, the objectives,
specific scope and object of protection
with a view to submitting to the
Diplomatic Conference a revised basic
proposal, which will amend the agreed
relevant parts of the Revised Draft Basic
Proposal (Document SCCR/15/2). The
E:\FR\FM\12DEN1.SGM
12DEN1
74566
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 238 / Tuesday, December 12, 2006 / Notices
Diplomatic Conference will be
convened in November 2007 if such
agreement is achieved. If no such
agreement is achieved, all further
discussions will be based on Document
SCCR/15/2. The first special session of
the SCCR will be held from January 17
to 19, 2007.
WIPO posts various documents from
their meetings, such as reports, member
state submissions, meeting agendas, and
texts prepared by the Chair of the SCCR.
The most recent text available from July
31, 2006 — the Revised Draft Basic
Proposal (Document SCCR/15/2) –– can
be found at www.wipo.int/meetings/en/
doc_details.jsp?doc_id=64712. WIPO
has not yet made available a draft report
from the 2006 General Assemblies, but
preparatory documents for the
Assemblies are available at
www.wipo.int/meetings/en/
details.jsp?meeting_id=11023.
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 and
formal 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
Revised Draft Basic Proposal (Document
SCCR/15/2).
