The Usa Sample Clauses

The Usa. The initial November 1987 United States “Proposal for Negoti- ations on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights” included a section that addressed the objectives of the agreement: “Objective. The objective of a GATT intellectual property agreement would be to reduce distortions of and impediments to legitimate trade in goods and services caused by deficient levels of protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights. In order to realize that objective all participants should agree to undertake the following: – Create an effective economic deterrent to international trade in goods and ser- vices which infringe intellectual property rights through implementation of border measures; – Recognize and implement standards and norms that provide adequate means of obtaining and maintaining intellectual property rights and provide a basis for effective enforcement of those rights; – Ensure that such measure to protect intellectual property rights do not create barriers to legitimate trade; – Extend international notification, consultation, surveillance and dispute settle- ment procedures to protection of intellectual property and enforcement of intel- lectual property rights; – Encourage non-signatory governments to achieve, adopt and enforce the recog- nized standards for protection of intellectual property and join the agreement.”273

  • The U.S China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the United States. Under U.S. law, this student will become a resident alien for tax purposes if his or her stay in the United States exceeds 5 calendar years.

Real estate transactions are not subject to backup withholding. You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you receive if you give the requester your correct TIN, make the proper certifications, and report all your taxable interest and dividends on your tax return. Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if:
