TACD Working Group on Intellectual Property

Members

So far, a total of 51 EU and 28 US consumer organisations have joined the TACD and participate mainly through membership of the Policy Committees. TACD also has three observer members, two from Canada and one from Australia.

Participation in TACD is open to all EU or US consumer organisations which work on a national and/or international level, and are independent of business and political interest.

Consumer organisations from outside EU and US, or groups that do not meet the definition of consumer organisations, can be invited to the working groups as 'observer members' - they may input viewpoints but may not stop consensus policy decisions.
