Abstract

The WTO Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (“TRIPS”) brought about a very important change in international standards relating to intellectual property rights.1 Because of its far-reaching implications, particularly with respect to developing countries, the agreement has been one of the most controversial components of the WTO system. Strong disagreements on the scope and content of the Agreement emerged during the Uruguay Round negotiations, both between developed and developing countries and among developed countries themselves. Implementation of the Agreement and its review under the “built-in agenda” have also been contentious with regard to many aspects.
