Latin America IP enthusiasts will be pleased to see that the current issue of the World Intellectual Property Organization's bimonthly WIPO Magazine contains two articles which focus closely on Latin American topics.
The first, "Ecuador 2009 -- a Bicentennial Celebration", is a fun item which marks the Andean republic's 200th birthday with some references to two of its most distinguished products: the Montecristi (a.k.a. Panama) hat and the much-vaunted Cacao Arriba.
The second, "The Inova Success Story -- Technology Transfer in Brazil", is penned by journalist Rachel Bueno, who explains why the technology transfer office of the university that is her employer is considered a model for other Brazilian science and technology institutions.
