INFORME SOBRE LA APLICACIÓN DEL ARTÍCULO 66.2  
DEL ACUERDO SOBRE LOS ADPIC  
CANADÁ  
La siguiente comunicación, de fecha  13 de septiembre de 2023, de la delegación del Canadá, se 
distribuye de conformidad con el párrafo 1 de la Decisión relativa a la aplicación del artículo 66 .2 del 
Acuerdo sobre los ADPIC ( documento IP/C/28 ). 
 
_______________  
 
 
1  INTRODUCCIÓN  
1.  En el artículo 66 .2 del Acuerdo sobre los Aspectos de los Derechos de Propiedad Intelectual 
relacionados con el Comercio (Acuerdo sobre los ADPIC) se dispone que "[l]os países desarrollados 
Miembros ofrecerán a las empresas e instituciones de su territorio incentivos destina dos a fomentar 
y propiciar la transferencia de tecnología a los países menos adelantados [PMA] Miembros, con el 
fin de que estos puedan establecer una base tecnológica sólida y viable".  
2.  De conformidad con la Decisión del Consejo de los ADPIC de 19  de febre ro de 2003  
(documento  IP/C/28 ), los países desarrollados Miembros presentan informes anuales sobre las 
medidas adoptadas o previstas en cumplimiento de los compromisos contraídos por ellos en virtud 
del artículo  66.2 del Acuerdo sobre los ADPIC . Con arreglo a  esa Deci sión, los Miembros decidieron 
facilitar cada tres años nuevos informes detallados y, en los años intermedios, actualizaciones . 
El Canadá presentó su informe detallado más reciente en septiembre de 2022 (document o 
IP/C/R/TTI/CAN/3 ). El presente informe constituye una versión actualizada del de 2022, tiene por 
objeto  facilitar información actual sobre los incentivos concedidos en este ámbito y ofrece un 
panorama detallado de las medidas adoptadas o  previstas e información sobre determinados 
incentivos de proyectos o programas que otorga el Canadá en conexión con las disposiciones de 
transferencia de tecnología en el marco del artículo 66 .2 del Acuerdo sobre los  ADPIC . Al igual que 
en años anteriores , el anexo al informe de este año aporta una visión de conjunto  ilustrativa, aunque 
no exhaustiva, de los incentivos concedidos a empresas e instituciones canadienses en esta esfera, 
que están dirigidos específicamente a países menos adelantados (PMA) o gr upos de países que, 
como mínimo, incluyen un PMA.  
3.  Se señala que las actividades incluidas en este informe se diferencian de las descritas en el 
informe de 2023 sobre las actividades de cooperación técnica presentado por el Canadá en virtud 
del artículo 67 del Acuerdo  sobre los ADPIC  (documento IP/C/R/TC/CAN/4 ). No obstante, como han 
indicado varios Miembros y la Secretaría de la OMC en el pasado, hay cierto grado de solapamiento 
entre los conceptos de transferencia de tecnología y de asistencia técnica . Por ejemplo, algunos t ipos 
de asistencia técnica y financiera pueden constituir incentivos a la transferencia de tecnología, en la 
medida en que el contexto jurídico y normativo en materia de propiedad intelectual de un país 
Miembro puede ser fundamental para establecer condici ones que hagan posible una transferencia 
sostenible de  tecnología.  
4.  Los incentivos financieros y no financieros de los países desarrollados Miembros para facilitar la 
transferencia de tecnología pueden ser de diverso tipo e incluir, entre otros, la cofinanc iación, 
incentivos fiscales, seguros y asesoramiento técnico, así como ayudas en forma de donaciones y 
préstamos, por ejemplo mediante asistencia oficial para el desarrollo (AOD) dirigida a respaldar IP/C/R/TTI/CAN/4  
- 2 - 
  proyectos, programas y estudios financiados por el Gobie rno centrados en la transferencia de 
tecnología . La mayor parte de los incentivos que figuran en el informe de este año están 
comprendidos en esta última categoría de programas o proyectos financiados por la AOD canadiense, 
fundamentalmente los que tienen por objeto la transferencia de tecnología a PMA Miembros con 
miras a que puedan establecer una base tecnológica sólida y viable.  
5.  El Canadá entiende que la transferencia de tecnología incluye la transferencia de tecnología 
incorporada a los bienes físicos y  los servicios (como la maquinaria y el equipo) y la divulgación de 
la información y los conocimientos técnicos y comerciales en los que se basa un producto, proceso 
o servicio, así como la transferencia de conocimientos prácticos y técnicos . En consecuenc ia, la 
transferencia de tecnología puede abarcar, por ejemplo, la propiedad intelectual incorporada a las 
mercancías y los servicios transferidos, conocimientos administrativos y comerciales en apoyo de la 
producción y distribución de mercancías y servicio s, y la mejora de la capacidad de los recursos  
humanos.  
2  RESEÑA  
6.  Varios departamentos, organismos y programas del Gobierno canadiense ofrecen incentivos 
directos o indirectos a las empresas e instituciones del Canadá para que participen en actividades 
de transferencia de tecnología a PMA . En el presente documento se des criben y actualizan las 
actividades que están realizando esos organismos.  
7.  El Canadá toma nota del permanente interés de los PMA Miembros por saber más sobre los 
efectos y el funcionamiento de los incentivos a la transferencia de tecnología de los países 
desarrollados Miembros . Por ello, y de conformidad con el modelo propuesto por los PMA en octubre  
de 2011  para los informes presentados por los países desarrollados Miembros de conformidad con 
el artículo 66 .2 (documento IP/C/W/561 ), en el anexo que acompaña al informe de este año se 
incluyen ejemplos concretos de transferencia de tecnología a PMA . Al igual que en informes 
anteriores, en cada ejemplo se incluye también un hiperenlace a la página web del proyecto o 
programa de q ue se trate, a fin de facilitar el acceso a información adicional sobre cada iniciativa de 
transferencia de tecnología . Para facilitar la consulta, los proyectos, programas e iniciativas que 
figuran en el anexo se han agrupado además por temas del siguient e modo:  
a. economía digital, tecnología de la información y las comunicaciones (TIC) y  
emprendimiento;  
b.  tecnología e innovación en la esfera agrícola;  
c.  tecnología e innovación en la esfera del medio ambiente y el cambio climático ; 
d.  tecnología e in novación en la esfera de la salud ; y 
e.  educación, conocimiento e innovación.  
8.  El Canadá facilitará con sumo gusto más información sobre cualquiera de los ejemplos incluidos 
en el informe de este año, si así se le solicita . Además, el Canadá está interesad o en intercambiar 
más información con los PMA Miembros y los países desarroll ados Miembros sobre los tipos de 
incentivos disponibles para fomentar la transferencia de tecnología a los PMA, así como sobre los 
sectores y tecnologías prioritarios para los PMA.  
9.  El Canad á también particip ó en la Quinta Conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sob re los Países 
Menos Adelantados (23-27 de enero de 2022 ) como miembro electo de la Mesa del Comité 
Preparatorio durante el período 202 1-2022. El proceso preparatorio inclu yó negociaciones para un 
nuevo programa de acción de 10 años , el Programa de Acción d e Doha en favor de los  Países Menos 
Adelantados , que recoge compromisos en materia de transferencia de tecnología a los países menos 
desarrollados en condiciones mutuamente acordadas, así como una reafirmación de los compromisos 
de los países desarrollados  Miembros de la OMC en virtud del artículo 66.2 del Acuerdo sobre 
los ADPIC . IP/C/R/TTI/CAN/4

Name of programme or project  Development of an attenuated live heartwater vaccine for use in domestic ruminants  
Objective or purpose  Heartwater is a disease of cattle, sheep, and goats that has significant economic consequences, including estimated 
losses of approximately USD 48 million (approximately CAD 62.4 million) annually in southern Africa. The current 
heartwater vaccine is the live blood -based vaccine produced an d marketed by Onderstepoort Biological Products (OBP) 
of South Africa. This vaccine is not farmer -friendly because it requires ultra -cold storage ( -196° C), intravenous 
administration by veterinary health professionals, and post -vaccination treatment with tetracycline. In addition, it does 
not protect against most isolates circulating in the field and carries the risk of spreading other blood -borne diseases. 
These storage and transport requirements also make it an expensive vaccine for smallholder farmers. In this project, 
OBP will optimize the processes of producing and scaling up a new live attenuated tissue culture -derived heartwater 
vaccine developed by the Agriculture Research Council -Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute. The project also seeks to 
stabili ze the vaccine to remove dependence on the cold chain for storage and transportation. Unlike the vaccine 
currently in use, this new vaccine is shown to be safe; fully protective in goats, sheep (young, old, and pregnant ewes), 
and Holstein Friesian cattle;  and it can be administered through the intramuscular route. It is also easier to produce 
and has broader cross -protection.

Output or impact  It is expected that by the end of the project, the production process  of the new heartwater vaccine will have been optimized, the vaccine 
registered in South Africa, and the production technology transferred to the African Union Centre for Ticks and Tick -Borne Diseases in 
Malawi.  This project is funded through the Livestoc k Vaccine Innovation Fund, a partnership between the Bill and Melinda Gates 
Foundation, Global Affairs Canada, and IDRC. It represents a joint investment of CAD 57 million over five years to support th e 
development, production, and commercialization of inn ovative vaccines against priority livestock diseases in sub -Saharan Africa, South 
Asia, and Southeast Asia.

Name of programme or project  Alien invasive fruit flies in Southern Africa: Implementation of a sustainable IPM programme to combat 
their menaces (CULTIAF -2) 
Objective or purpose  Mangoes are an important source of nutritious food and employment in sub -Saharan Africa. However, pest infestation, 
especially fruit flies (native and invasive), hamper mango productivity in the region. Fruit fly infestations reduce the 
quality and quantity of fruits produced for both local and foreign markets. Using synthetic insecticides for pest 
management is unsustainable (due to their price and their risks to human health and the environment) and subject to 
increasing resistance. To address these challenges, the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology and 
partners have developed and validated a fruit fly integrated pest management (IPM) package that has been tested in 
several locations in East and West Africa.
