His re-election took place at the thirty-third session of the Standing Committee on Patent Law (SCP) held at WIPO in Geneva on December 6 and 9. In addition to his re-election, the debates revolved around the 5 usual themes of the Committee in recent years: Exceptions and limitations to patent rights, Quality of Patents, Patents and Health, Confidentiality in communications between patent agents and clients, and Technology Transfer.
