Meetings; Advisory Committee on 

Private International Law Study 

U.S. Department of State Advisory 

Committee on Private International Law 

Study will be holding a public 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 Advisory 

Committee on Private International Law 

(ACPIL) will be holding a public 

meeting to discuss the treatment of IPsecured financing practices in the 

UNCITRAL Draft Legislative Guide on 

Secured Transactions (Guide). At the 

40th Session of the UNCITRAL, the 

Commission adopted a legislative guide 

on secured transactions, including 

recommendations dealing with the 

scope of the Guide as it relates to IP law 

and secured financing, as well as the 

inclusion in the commentary to the 

Guide of explanatory statements on the 

treatment of IP as secured financing. 

The Commission also approved a new 

work project on IP law matters as they 

relate to secured financing law. A first 

session for that work project was held 

in New York in May. A second session 

of that work project is scheduled for 

October 20–24 in Vienna. The ACPIL 

will use this public meeting to continue 

to exchange thoughts on the 

relationship between secured finance 

and IP and how this matter should be 

addressed in the new draft IP annex to 

the Guide. The report of the first session 

of the working group and the papers 

prepared by the Secretariat on this 

matter can be obtained at http://
