The A2K initiative is an effort to change the priorities of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) to encourage it to pay more attention to the needs of developing countries, and balance the benefits of easier access to knowledge and knowledge-intensive products such as medicines and software, with the benefits for greater innovation of copyright, patents and trademarks. The website brings together a group of international non-governmental organizations, governments, scholars, acticists and individuals which has been working on a proposed treaty.
