MESSAGING UPDATE
1. This cable includes an action request. Please see para 5.
2. SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUEST: The Department's Office of
Intellectual Property Enforcement (IPE) requests post ECON
Section input in conducting an annual update of coordinated
USG-wide IPR messaging and factoids. (Please be sure to
coordinate with PA Section colleagues as appropriate.)
Organized by region and substantive topic, coordinated IPR
messaging provides consistent institutional guidance to USG
officials for use in overseas IPR outreach programs and
products. The 2009 update is being conducted via the
Department's interactive IPR Portal on Diplopedia
(http://diplopedia.state.gov/IPRPortal). ECON officers are
requested to provide messaging and factoid updates no later
than Friday, April 17, 2009. See instructions in paras. 5-7.
End summary.
3. BACKGROUND: In Spring 2007, IPE kicked-off the first phase
of its IPR outreach initiative by working with posts and
interagency colleagues to develop broadly-coordinated IPR
messaging segmented by topic, region, and country. In the
past two years, this messaging has served as a tremendous
resource for USG officials to use to build their own knowledge
bases and upon which to base talking points and ensure
editorial pieces are appropriately crafted to resonate with
particular foreign audiences. Given continual shifts in
public perceptions and opinion, annual updates are required to
keep this messaging fresh and relevant to overseas public
audiences. As such, post input is crucial to creating an
effectively targeted and segmented messaging product. End
Background.
4. MESSAGING PROJECT OVERVIEW: The IPR messaging update
project is broken down by regions and by topic. Topical areas
of focus include:
* General IP Messaging
* Creative Industry, Internet, and Business Software Messaging
* Public Health and Safety messaging
* Health and Biotechnology, R&D Messaging
* Traditional Knowledge Messaging
* USG Trade and Capacity Building IPR Training Messaging
* NEW Category: Environment and Global Climate Change
Messaging
5. ACTION REQUEST: IPE requests that all posts provide new and
updated regional and country IPR information and facts, as
well as related IPR messaging revisions. This includes posts
in regions and host countries which are not currently
represented on relevant regional or topical messaging pages.
Where appropriate, posts should include (a) positive impacts
from IPR protection, (b) negative impacts from lack of
protection and infringement, (c) actions taken to protect IPR,
and (d) the results of such actions. Posts are also requested
to take note of, and respond to, any existing comments (noted
in red on the respective Diplopedia pages). [Note: To ease
Post's updating exercise, instructions on how to use
Diplopedia have been provided in paragraphs 6-7.]
6. DIPLOPEDIA PLATFORM AND USAGE INSTRUCTIONS: Diplopedia is

affairs information, accessible through OpenNet. State
employees are asked to contribute their experience, knowledge,
and expertise in the form of articles, discussion, and editing
of material submitted by others. In order to provide
