      abstract = {Rather suddenly (since 1990 or so), intellectual property  rights have asserted their legal presence in countries  throughout Asia. However, even though the TRIPs agreement  has in many cases been the catalyst their legal framework  has come with complex, inescapable influences from Asian  history, including religious factors, traditional  bureaucracies, and the heritage of colonialism and  communism. More often than not, it is these distinct  cultural aspects that continue to raise difficulties for  business people and their counsel as they seek to protect  their intellectual property rights in these vibrant growing  markets. This text presents a country-by-country survey of  the essentials of intellectual property law in the  developed and developing nations of eastern and southern  Asia.},
