Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

UNCLAS KINGSTON 001196 SIPDIS PLASS USTR E.O. 12958: NA TAGS: ECON, ETRD, KIPR, JM SUBJECT: JAMAICA 2005 SPECIAL 301 NOTIFICATION - DEMARCHE DELIVERED REF: STATE 079084 1. Econoff delivered reftel talking points to Esmond Reid, a trade specialist at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade (MFAFT) on April 29. Reid stated that a Patent Act that would address the problems identified by the Special 301 report has gone through several drafts, and is currently being reviewed by the Attorney General's office and by several ministries. Reid didn't know when the document would be returned for final drafting, but expressed hope that it would go before Parliament for consideration before 2006. 2. Regarding the U.S.-Jamaica bilateral IP agreement cited in reftel, Reid said it had been his understanding that the agreement, signed in 1994, had been scheduled for a review at the ten-year mark. He said he did not think such a review had taken place in 2004, and wondered what the procedure would be to begin an official evaluation at this time. TIGHE
