Opis

Since 1995, the World Trade Organization has had jurisdiction over intellectual property rights - including patents, copyrights and trademarks - on a global scale under the auspices of the TRIPs agreement (trade-related aspects of intellectual property rights). This agreement has had profound implications for the commercial interests of global corporate actors and for access to technology in developing countries.
