Abstract

Notwithstanding Peru's attempts to reign in ever-heightening IP protection standards at the multilateral level, Peru has adopted domestic IP standards that are TRIPS-Plus. This paper explores the development of IP standards in Peru, focusing on bilateral linkages of IP disciplines with trade and finance agreements, and domestic interest group pressures. On balance, it is clear that Peru did not adopt TRIPS-Plus standards because of normative conviction or pressure from domestic IP interest groups, but because IP protection has been linked explicitly with trade and finance agreements with the US upon which Peru depends for economic growth.
