Dear supporters,<br>
<br>
The <a href="http://swpat.org" target="_blank">swpat.org</a> wiki is growing, but there's not much information about Latin<br>
America so I've chosen Brazil and Argentina for the first in a series of<br>
spotlights. What sort of information should be added to the wiki?<br>
<br>
* Info about who's pressuring LA to have swpats - free trade? world trade?<br>
* Problems caused by swpats<br>
* Explanations of existing laws<br>
* Proposals to change the law<br>
* Court cases<br>
* Studies and reports about the cost of swpats<br>
* Contact details for groups that are active against swpats<br>
* Info about whether patent offices are granting swpats<br>
<br>
Here are the pages I've started so far, but they're all very short:<br>
