member countries and other organizations announced their support of the WHO’s</span><a href="https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/global-research-on-novel-coronavirus-2019-ncov/covid-19-technology-access-pool/solidarity-call-to-action"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Solidarity Call to Action</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. We are pleased that within this statement of principles, the</span><a href="http://www.opencovidpledge.org/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Open COVID Pledge</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is featured as a mechanism that allows holders of valuable COVID intellectual property to meet the WHO’s call to action by immediately and freely making IP available to anyone for purposes of combating the disease. Through the generosity and vision of pledgors, this intellectual property can be used to develop and rapidly innovate medicines, test kits, vaccines, equipment, software and other technology to mitigate the pandemic’s impact. We count among our</span><a href="https://opencovidpledge.org/partners/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">current Pledgors</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> many technology giants, as well as research projects and institutes.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is the design principle of the Open COVID Pledge, and why it stands apart as a unique solution for those wishing to quickly share their intellectual property. The Pledge and its implementation are immediately self-executing; no permissions or legal forms are required to grant permissions to the public to use pledged IP for the duration of the Pandemic plus one year (or until January 1, 2023).</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The WHO’s Solidarity Call to Action is one of many noteworthy efforts announced recently by international and private organizations responding to the pandemic. Recently, a coalition of public and private partners, including the WHO, announced the </span><a href="https://www.who.int/who-documents-detail/access-to-covid-19-tools-(act)-accelerator" class="broken_link"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, designed to “accelerate equitable global access to safe, quality, effective and affordable COVID-19 diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines” to ensure no one is left behind. Additionally, the United Nations Technology Bank, together with the UN Development Programme (UNDP), the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the WHO, launched the </span><a href="https://www.undp.org/content/undp/en/home/news-centre/news/2020/UN_agencies_launch_Tech_Access_Partnership_in_joint_effort_to_scale_up_local_production_of_life-saving_health_technologies_for_COVID-19.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tech Access Partnership </span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">(TAP). That project calls for the creation of a digital warehouse of product information such as manufacturing and design specifications, and plans to provide technical support for manufacturers and promote partnerships between companies and public and private sector innovators.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Open COVID Pledge is an actionable, legally robust and tangible way for governments, researchers, and private and public organizations to easily and successfully implement and assist in achieving the goals of these international efforts.
