            <div align="justify"> Revelations made by Wikileaks ratify
              what has been long been an open secret. The US -and
              transnational corporations that make up the real imperial
              power- are most interested in promoting legislation and
              intellectual property agreements increasingly stronger and
              are willing to demand, using all means at their disposal,
              that the rest of the world does the same.
              <p>
              </p>
              <p>Perhaps some people still don�t not understand the
                reason behind this interest, since intellectual property
                regulations are aimed at protecting and encouraging the
                creation and development of the arts, literature and the
                scientific field, something apparently so little akin to
                the militaristic and colonial desires and the desires of
                plundering with which we have identified the US foreign
                policy for over two centuries now. </p>
              <p>
              </p>
              <p>It would be necessary to review some information to
                understand it fully. Incomes related to copyright (only
                one \&quot;branch\&quot; of the so-called intellectual property)
                in the US were in 2006 about 1.38 trillion dollars (1) a
                year. Let�s just think about the software and the power
                and presence of Microsoft or Apple products, or about
                the lucrative video game industry or the audiovisual
                industry with Hollywood and its giant studios, or the
                music industry, including the advertising industry worth
                millions, the design industry, and others. With regard
                to other intellectual property rights, the owners of
                very famous and expensive brands and more widespread and
                questionable patents (2) come from this country, whether
                pharmaceutical patents (Johnson &amp; Johnson, Pfizer),
                technological (Apple, IBM, Google, Hewlett-Packard,
                etc.) or of biotechnology, such as the sadly famous
                Monsanto transnational company. </p>
              <p>
              </p>
              <p>These corporations, the owners of these rights, need to
                ensure that on the markets where their products, patents
                or trademarks are present (and indeed they are, thanks
                to globalization, in all parts of the world) there is a
                �favorable� environment for their protection, so no
                possible profit generated from the most remote countries
                could be diverted. </p>
              <p>
              </p>
              <p>The authors of the <a href="http://www.cubanow.net/pages/%5C%22http://www.porlacultura.cult.cu/descargas.php%5C%22" target="_blank">Copy
                  South Dossier </a>(an excellent analysis about the
                impact of IP laws on developing countries) concretely
                wonder why countries of the South need to learn about
                the intellectual property policies \&quot;cooked\&quot; in
                developed nations: </p>
              <p>
              </p>
              <p>While countries in the North, particularly the United
                States, have moved from a manufacturing base to one of
                services, and hence to a knowledge base for their
                economies, the creation of new sources of income has
                become crucial. Governments can better protect these new
                income flows if the technologies and the content that
                are the basis of knowledge �such as licensed software or
                entertainment products- are more ruthlessly protected
              </p>
              <p>with a comprehensive intellectual property regime
              </p>
              <p>applied globally; in fact such protection helps the
              </p>
              <p>copyright industries of the North to obtain higher
                monopolistic profits.(3)
              </p>
              <p>
              </p>
              <p>The U.S. government itself has expressly said:
                intellectual property is a strategic issue in its
                foreign policy and will be defended, in the words of
                Obama himself, \&quot;aggressively\&quot;. </p>
              <p>
              </p>
              <p>While reviewing a good few number of cables leaked by
                Wikileaks on intellectual property issues coming from US
                embassies in various parts of the world, the way in
                which this country works to achieve its objectives
                becomes evident. </p>
              <p>
              </p>
              <p>1.Firstly, it can be asserted that the US embassies
                carry out systematic monitoring of the state of
                intellectual property laws, their implementation and
                application in each country, including the position of
                officials and politicians who can influence local
                decisions in this matter. </p>

              <p>As can be appreciated, monitoring and pressure on
                governments include countries from all continents, from
                the most underdeveloped to European countries and
                trading partners. </p>
              <p>
              </p>
              <p>But we should not think that all these actions are
                carried out covertly. If we review the Web site <a href="http://www.cubanow.net/pages/%5C%22http://cldp.doc.gov/category/areas-expertise/intellectual-property%5C%22" target="_blank">
                  of the Commercial Law Development Program (CLD) a
                  division of the US Commerce Department </a>, we see
                the large number of projects of \&quot;assistance and
                training\&quot; already implemented, the themes of which are
                related to intellectual property standards and primarily
                directed to the judicial sector and the sphere of law
                observance. This program has the declared objective of
                �achieving the U.S. foreign policy goals in developing
                countries and countries that experienced conflicts and
                help them \&quot;modernize\&quot; the laws and regulations that
                will lead them to �economic growth and opportunities for
                their people.\&quot; </p>
              <p>
              </p>
              <p>It is striking, for example, that from September 19th
                through the 22nd, 2011, the Commercial Law Development
                Program and the Iraqi Institute for Judicial Development
                organized a workshop on observance of intellectual
                property rights in Baghdad. The workshop focused on
                common disputes on trade marks, copyrights, commercial
                secrets and other forms of intellectual property. The
                needs met by this training in a devastated country,
                totally plundered in terms of its cultural heritage and
                still occupied by foreign troops, are clear. </p>
              <p>
              </p>
              <p>Taking only the information appearing on this Web site,
                we also knew that between June, 2010, and September,
                2011, in just 15 months, 24 training activities related
                to intellectual property, including workshops, courses,
                etc,. were carried out. The countries these actions were
                directed to were: Iraq, Kirgizstan, Ghana, Liberia,
                Nigeria, Kenya, Rwanda, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mali,
                Egypt, Tunisia, Pakistan, Georgia, Ghana, Senegal,
                Ukraine, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Moldova and
                Uganda. </p>
              <p>
              </p>
              <p>It is also curious to see not only the issues dealt
                with but also the approaches of this training. Already
                in Geneva in 2005, <a href="http://www.cubanow.net/pages/%5C%22http://www.wipo.int/meetings/es/doc_details.jsp?doc_id=42376" target="_blank">
                  in a document presented at the WIPO by a group of
                  countries to establish a \&quot;Development Agenda\&quot; </a>
                the content and approaches of the technical assistance
                provided by that organization to developing countries,
                among other things, were questioned.
              </p>
              <p>
              </p>
              <p>As its fundamental idea, the document argued that the
                promotion of intellectual property in itself was not
                valid unless it was accompanied by policies that would
                respond to the specific needs of each country. </p>
              <p>At the same time, it questioned the upward
                harmonization of these standards, that is, the intention
                to apply more rigorous protection criteria in all
                countries, irrespective of their levels of development
                and regardless of the economic and social costs this
                legislation could impose, not only on poor countries but
                on all consumers of knowledge, cultural content and
                technologies, in both the North and the South. </p>
              <p>
              </p>
              <p>\&quot;Not only the interests of holders of intellectual
                property rights should be considered and respected, but
                also those of society at large, and of the particularly
                vulnerable population segments,\&quot; expressed the
                document. </p>
              <p>
              </p>
              <p>These criticisms raised at the WIPO in 2005 can
                undoubtedly serve as a reference at the time of
                interpreting \&quot;disinterested\&quot; cooperation on the part
                not only of the US government but also of international
                organizations, associations of professionals,
                universities, institutes, NGOs and others, often free,
                lying like a hook to the mouth of a hungry fish. </p>
              <p>
              </p>
              <p>Let�s recall Professor Julio Fernandez Bulte, PhD and
                Professor Emeritus of the University of Havana, when he
                said: \&quot;I have always maintained that the science (Law)
                is not innocent and is generated and reversed in a
                historic environment in which it does good or evil. And
                good and evil have different readings for the poor and
                the rich, the good of the First World is often the evil
                of our peoples and the good of the latter is normally
                seen as subversive attitude by politicians of the First
                World.\&quot;(4)
              </p>
              <p>
              </p>
              <p>The \&quot;gaps\&quot; and \&quot;weaknesses\&quot; of our legal systems
                and institutions, criticized by many organizations and
                international \&quot;advisers\&quot;, are precisely the areas on
                which we must advance autonomously, try new ideas and
                relationships and build new structures, which could be
                more effective or less effective in a short term, but
                that at least will be our fruits and not yet another
                foundation to underpin an outdated order, which is, in
                addition, demonstrably unfair. </p>
              <p>
              </p>
              <p>This was already known, but the persecuted Julian
                Assange helped us come closer to the details, extent and
                nerve with which the masters of the world move, even in
                these subjects. There are some cables available, and
                there are more. </p>
