Book excerpt: "This module commences by providing background -- including a historical perspective -- on Intellectual property rights(IPRs) and the TRIPS Agreements. Then, chapter II offers a brief overview of different IPRs followed by chapter III, which discusses the interlinkages between IPRs and development. In so doing, chapter III looks at key aspects, including sector-specific impacts of IPRs, the impact of IPRs on gross domestic product (GDP) and the impact of IPRs on the private sector and on key public policy issues. Chapter IV provides a short description of the TRIPS Agreements and its main cross-cutting and IPR-specific provisions. Finally, chapter VI sketches out how the TRIPS Agreement evolves, most importantly through dispute settlement and the built-in agenda."--Introduction.

This book was released on 2016-06-27 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) is the most far-reaching and comprehensive legal regime ever concluded at the multilateral level in the area of intellectual property rights (IPR). Compared to prior IPR conventions, TRIPS constitutes a major qualitative leap which radically modifies not only the context in which IPR are considered internationally, but also their substantive content and the methods for their enforcement and dispute settlement. This much-welcomed treatise, now in its third edition, thoroughly updates its comprehensive analysis of the substantive provisions of the Agreement and their actual interpretation and application in different jurisdictions, with new material on the burgeoning case law and on major changes in plant variety protection. As in previous editions, the book may be relied upon for in-depth clarification of such matters as the following: • standards established under the agreement; • enforcement measures; • social and legal issues; • legal and policy possibilities offered; • legislative latitude allowed to WTO Member States; • incorporation of TRIPS into domestic law; • protection of integrated circuit design; • protection of innovation and R&D for diseases that disproportionately affect developing countries; • challenges raised by ongoing technological changes; • access to medicines; • protection of confidential (undisclosed) information; and • interface between competition law and intellectual property protection. With fifteen chapters contributed by a distinguished panel of experts representing diverse parties — international organisations, legal practice, government policy, and academia — the third edition offers an incomparable framework for understanding the background, principles, and complex provisions of the TRIPS Agreement. Thoroughly revised and updated, the third edition will be of great value to all professionals and business people concerned with international trade. It stimulates further discussion and analysis in this area of growing importance to international law and international economic relations, particularly regarding the possibilities offered by the Agreement and the loose ends that may need consideration in the future at the national or international level.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (“TRIPS Agreement”) is the first WTO agreement requiring Members to establish a relatively detailed set of substantive norms within their national legal systems, as well as requiring them to establish enforcement measures and procedures meeting minimum standards. The TRIPS Agreement is sometimes referred to as the first WTO agreement that prescribes “positive law”. This factor alone might account for a more than typical level of controversy as Members deal, in many cases, with adopting rather far-reaching changes to their national legal systems.However, added to the uniquely “positive” aspect of the TRIPS Agreement is a negotiating history that for a long time was highly contentious, particularly as between developed and developing Members, and the fact that the TRIPS Agreement touches upon sensitive and important social issues. In the final analysis, it should not be surprising that the TRIPS Agreement has generated a considerable amount of controversy among WTO Members, even if to date much of that controversy has not resulted in formal dispute settlement proceedings.The TRIPS Agreement addresses a wide range of intellectual property subject matter areas (copyright, trademark, patent, and so forth). It also covers competitive markets, enforcement measures, dispute settlement, and transitional arrangements. This Module provides an introduction to these various aspects of the TRIPS Agreement, and seeks to focus on the kinds of questions that should be asked when approaching dispute settlement. In some areas, the questions are answered, but the entire field of intellectual property rights protection, including enforcement measures, cannot be covered in a single Module or short course. Moreover, the questions will change along with the technologies that form the subject matter of intellectual property rights protection. The objective of this Module is to provide sufficient background so that as specific issues arise, the diplomat or lawyer understands how to approach them.This Module begins by discussing some general principles or concepts applicable to the field of TRIPS dispute settlement. It then deals with the various substantive subject matter areas covered by the agreement. It turns to enforcement measures, and afterwards to specific aspects of the WTO dispute settlement process. Finally, the existing WTO jurisprudence is described.

Download or read book The Protection against Unfair Competition in the WTO TRIPS Agreement written by Christian Riffel and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-06-10 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Protection Against Unfair Competition in the WTO TRIPS Agreement, Christian Riffel offers an account of the potential which Article 10bis of the Paris Convention has for the world trading system. In particular, the author explores what hard law obligations emerge and examines a possible application to unsettled issues, such as core labour standards and traditional knowledge. Article 10bis embodies unfair competition law in a nutshell. The TRIPS Agreement incorporates this Article into the World Trade Organization, thus making unfair competition law a discipline of international trade law. By providing an effective enforcement mechanism against unfair competition, the WTO upholds ‘honest practices’ in the course of trade, alleviating enforcement deficits in other areas of international law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To varying degrees, nations worldwide are at present struggling to meet their obligations under the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS).This agreement, which to a large extent supersedes all previous international conventions on intellectual property rights, promises to provide virtually global protection against fraud, piracy, and infringement for owners of patents, copyrights, trade marks, and trade secrets--provided government officials everywhere implement its requirements. It is with the intent of facilitating such compliance--focusing on patents--that this extremely practical book has been written. With the authoritative stamp of a leading international functionary in the field--formerly with the WTO and currently with the Secretariat of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO)--it articulates with unmatched clarity the specific steps a government must take, in a wide variety of possible contexts, to ensure its patent-related obligations under TRIPS are met. The presentation is arranged in an article-by-article format, following the TRIPS Agreement itself as it relates to patents. It makes no attempt to discuss what the Agreement should be, but only what it is. Effective implementation and compliance is the author's sole concern. Among the complex questions the book answers in depth are the following: How does the 'no less favourable treatment' standard apply in specific situations? Where is the line drawn between most-favoured-nation treatment and national treatment? When does exhaustion occur? How is the necessity test met? The complexity of the TRIPS Agreement and its numerous links to areas that are outside intellectual property--such as the environment and public health, human rights, and non-tariff barriers to trade--make it very difficult to apprehend all the aspects and implications of the Agreement, let alone to convert all TRIPS obligations into national law. For these reasons and more, The TRIPS Regime of Patent Rights is a crucially important resource for lawyers and government officials everywhere charged with the implementation of TRIPS obligations. ' In conclusion this book can be strongly recommended for its clear exposition of the meaning of the various articles of the TRIPs Agreement and for the short and clear discussions it gives of the historical and economic background of patents and some of the controversial and topical issues concerned with public health and patents.

Download or read book 25 Years of the TRIPS Agreement written by Christopher Heath and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2021-12-17 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the TRIPS Agreement was concluded in 1994, many saw it as embodying a new gold standard of intellectual property protection that not only reformed the Paris and Berne Conventions but also made further IP agreements unnecessary. Although this optimistic vision has eroded – obligations to protect IP rights can now be found in trade agreements and can be enforced before domestic courts and investor–state tribunals – the Agreement continues to pervade trends and developments in international law, not only in IP but in trade law also. This comprehensive commentary on the past, present, and future of the Agreement focuses on its influence on key topics in IP as well as on enforcement and dispute resolution. The editors have assembled a group of renowned IP law practitioners and academics who, taking each area of IP law, in turn, show the extent to which TRIPS provisions have survived, expanded, or been supplanted by other bodies. Their analysis covers the different IP rights addressed in the TRIPS Agreement (copyrights; trade marks; geographical indications; patents; data protection and enforcement) both in historical perspective and in their development in the last 25 years. An additional three chapters cover: most-favoured-nation obligations in regard of subsequent free trade agreements; how societal interests alter the interpretation of TRIPS obligations; the judicial role in the WTO panels and Appellate Body; minimum standards and reduction of flexibilities in IP policy; relationship of WTO/TRIPS with other international agreements. As intellectual property becomes more pervasive in society than ever before – and as both technology related to the use of IP and the way protected works are consumed have changed beyond recognition over the past 25 years – jurists, academics, and practitioners in IP and trade law will welcome this unique opportunity to test the true scope of national sovereignty in the interpretation of intellectual property rights.
Download or read book TRIPS plus 20 written by Hanns Ullrich and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-29 with total page 758 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the impact and shortcomings of the TRIPS Agreement, which was signed in Marrakesh on 15 April 1994. Over the last 20 years, the framework conditions have changed fundamentally. New technologies have emerged, markets have expanded beyond national borders, some developing states have become global players, the terms of international competition have changed, and the intellectual property system faces increasing friction with public policies. The contributions to this book inquire into whether the TRIPS Agreement should still be seen only as part of an international trade regulation, or whether it needs to be understood – or even reconceptualized – as a framework regulation for the international protection of intellectual property. The purpose, therefore, is not to define the terms of an outright revision of the TRIPS Agreement but rather to discuss the framework conditions for an interpretative evolution that could make the Agreement better suited to the expectations and needs of today’s global economy.
