Ministry Review
Written by Hms unicorn

This proposal is looking to repeal GA#93 "The General Patent Charter". This is a resolution that has been widely acknowledged as problematic ever since its passage. The author of the original resolution has themselves recognized its faults.

The repeal proposal adequately outlines the problems of the patent mechanism included in the original resolution. In particular, the patent mechanism, depending on its interpretation, either allows a single WA nation to indefinitely prevent patents from taking effect in all WA nations in the world; or prohibits all WA nations from renewing patents. No matter which interpretation is adopted, the patent mechanism is disfunctional.

For this reason, we recomment a vote in support of the repeal.
