The Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (or TRIPS Agreement) set the standards for intellectual property protection in the world today. It came into force on 1 January 1995 and is binding on all members of the World Trade Organization (WTO). TRIPS: a one-size-fits-all approach The TRIPS Agreement sets minimum standards in the international rules governing intellectual property, including patents on medicines. Countries that are members of the WTO (today, more than 150 countries) agree to certain general common rules in the way they enact and implement their intellectual property laws. These standards include, amongst others, that patents be given for a minimum of 20 years; that patents may be given both for products and processes; and that pharmaceutical test data be protected against ‘unfair commercial use’. But the question of what deserves to be patented is left for countries to determine. The Agreement only says that patents should be granted for new,
TRIPs AGREEMENT AND HUMAN RIGHTS: PROTECTING PUBLIC INTERESTS IN DEVELOPING AND LEAST DEVELOPED COUNTRIES AT THE CROSS-ROADSTrips Agreement • July 22nd, 2012
IPRs qualify as human rights since they have moral standing and developmental value to assist the enjoyment of other rights. However, being included in the TRIPs Agreement they take hold of protectionist trade implications and monopolistic ownership traits. Having based in developed countries and recognised as human rights, IPRs clash with the principle of free trade and comparative advantage. As a result, developing and least developed countries lose the comparatively advantageous reverse engineering of knowledge products and lag behind in fulfilling developmental needs in agriculture, health, biodiversity, economic development and so on and consequently causes concerns on a broad range of human rights including right to health and life, right to food, right to education, privacy and expression, indigenous people’s rights and so on.

The TRIPs agreement would require substantial changes in the patents regime of our country. The TRIPs agreement aims at a certain minimum standard of IPR protection. Successful implementation of the TRIPs agreement has a number of pre- requisites. The important ones being legal, administrative and institutional reforms, appropriate research investments, and first rate science and technology capability. Provided the IPR protection is adequate and effective (worldwide), the TRIPs accord can promote innovations, transfer of technology, foreign direct investment, use of genetic resources and environmental protection.

The TRIPS agreement is a minimum standards agreement, which permits members to offer more extensive protection of intellectual property. The Paris Convention, the Berne convention, international convention for the protection of Performers, generators of phonograms and Broadcasting Organization (Rome Convention), and the Treaty on intellectual property in respect of integrated Circuits (IPIC Treaty) Articles 3, 4 and 5 comprise the fundamental rules on national and most favored- nation treatment of foreign nationals, which are common to all categories of intellectual property covered by the Treaty.
THE TRIPS AGREEMENT AND ITS EFFECTS ON THE R&D SPENDING OF US-OWNED MULTINATIONAL COMPANIES IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIESTrips Agreement • August 30th, 2006
The Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) has revolutionized the way international intellectual property rights are defined and enforced. The biggest changes have been for developing countries that were required to adopt stringent US style intellectual property protection in return for membership in the World Trade Organization and the increased access to international markets associated with WTO membership. Many critics of the TRIPS regime argue that the new intellectual property protections are unduly burdensome to developing countries and that their costs far outweigh their benefits. On the other hand, TRIPS proponents contend that a high global level of intellectual property protection benefits developing countries by encouraging innovation and technology transfer, as well as attracting foreign direct investment. In this thesis, I test whether the strict intellectual property protection regulations required by the TRIPS agreement benefit develop
TRIPS Agreement and Plant Genetic Resources: Implications and Challenges for Food Security in Least Developed Countries like BangladeshTrips Agreement • July 24th, 2017
The World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects o f Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) i establishes intellectual property rights (IPRs)2 in plant genetic resources (PGRs), especially in plant varieties and biotechnology, by way of patents, plant varieties protection (PVP) and the likes. This holds a one-size-fits-all approach for all countries irrespective of their standing in terms of making economic development and meeting basic needs including food security. In fact, developed countries have gradually increasing technology that helps them genetically modifying PGRs. Such use of technology often brings in better yields and ensures food security. Moreover, rents made out of the trade of PGRs- based products also encourage further research and development (RSsD) for improving PGRs. This means with IPRs in PGRs, there will be more appropriable yields ensuring more security for food. However, least developed countries (LDCs) like Bangladesh lag behind R&D and oft

Complying with Unwelcome Rules? Developing Countries and the TRIPs AgreementTrips Agreement • September 10th, 2015
The Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs) Agreement, concluded as part of the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations, is a particularly ambitious international agreement in that aims to set a common floor for intellectual property protection in all World Trade Organization (WTO) members. Leading developing country governments vigorously resisted the conclusion of the agreement for philosophical and economic reasons, but under heavy pressure from developed country governments eventually accepted it. Despite their objections, almost all developing country governments have taken steps to comply with the TRIPS Agreement, many have done so before they were required to and many adopted more rigorous IPR rules than strictly required by TRIPs. This article seeks to explain this puzzle by testing explanations compliance derived from realism, which emphasizes the importance of great power coercion; neo-liberalism, which stresses coercion, but also the costs associated with

The debate between IP and Human rights particularly, Public Health comes into picture when the concern of access to essential medicines at affordable prices in developing and least developed countries is raised. In this whole deliberation TRIPS Agreement and Doha Declaration has an important role to play. The TRIPS Agreement raises a strong question that whether the Industrial interest shall be kept above public health? Through the DOHA Deceleration it was assured that TRIPS agreement includes various flexibilities like transitional period, compulsory licensing, parallel imports, etc. by which they can tackle their health problems.But in practice, use of the flexibilities provided by the TRIPS agreement was being challenged, politically and legally, by multinational pharmaceutical companies and developed countries.
