ACTA Meeting Next Week: U.S. & EU Talk to Work Out Divide

Inside US Trade has an update on the ACTA negotiations that confirm many of the recent reports on a divide between the U.S. and the EU.  The article quotes an industry source as saying the other ACTA participants encouraged the discussion on issues such as geographical indications since “countries feared that a continued stalemate on the issue could lead to a failed agreement or a much less influential one if either government were not a signatory.”
