U.S. Department of State Advisory Committee on Private 
International Law Study Group Notice of Meeting on the United Nations 
Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Draft Legislative 
Guide on Secured Transactions and Its Treatment of Security Rights in 
Intellectual Property (IP)

    The Department of State, Office of the Legal Adviser, Private 
International Law and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office will convene 
another round table public meeting to discuss the supplement to the 
UNCITRAL Legislative Guide on Secured Transactions (``the Guide'') 
dealing with security rights in intellectual property, as well as 
possible future work in UNCITRAL on an IP licensing guide. The meeting 
will take place on Friday, May 14, 2010 from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. EST 
at the Department of State, Office of Private International Law, 2430 E 
Street, NW., Washington, DC. This is not a meeting of the full Advisory 
Committee, but a meeting of one of its Study Groups.
    Please follow the link below for the report of the final session of 
the Working Group, February 8-12, 2010, in New York (A/CN.9/689), as 
well as the draft text of the IP supplement to the Guide (A/CN.9/700 
and Add. 1-7) that will be considered for final adoption by UNCITRAL at 
its annual session in June in New York. http://www.uncitral.org/uncitral/en/commission/sessions/43rd.html.
    The UNCITRAL Third International Colloquium on Secured Transactions 
held March 1-3, 2010 in Vienna discussed possible future work in the 
area of secured transactions and, in particular, further work after the 
completion of the supplement to the Guide. A variety of topics were 
discussed in the colloquium, including possible future work on a 
contractual guide on intellectual property licensing. UNCITRAL will 
also consider this issue at its annual session. Please follow the link 
below for papers presented at the colloquium. http://www.uncitral.org/uncitral/en/commission/colloquia/3rdint.html.
