Useful source for WIPO design news

If you are a paying subscriber of the Geneva-based Intellectual Property Watch service, you will know that it published a feature on Wednesday entitled WIPO Discusses Industrial Design Treaty, Trademark Protection On Internet", by Catherine Saez. Non-subscribers (of whom I sadly am one) can access this article but can't get beyond the first paragraph which reads
"World Intellectual Property Organization members congregated this week to advance work on a potential treaty on industrial designs, and to look into trademark protection against infringement on the internet, including through social media. But they ended early after nominal progress in these promising new areas for the United Nations agency".
Registration details are here. Subscription details -- which take a little working out -- are here.

As of two minutes prior to the date and time of posting of this item, no other news services appears to have picked up anything this story.
