    ICC has always supported the need for a proper balance among different interests.

    In the field of patents, for example, the system should allow those who innovate to obtain and enforce rights protecting their technological innovations, but should also ensure that society as a whole benefits from disclosure of inventions and the dissemination of knowledge. In the view of ICC, maintaining adequate balances is necessary for the continued successful operation and, hence, acceptance of intellectual property protection systems.
