TY - GEN N2 - "The World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) to a large extent incorporates and/or supersedes all previous international conventions on intellectual property rights. It provides, therefore, for a general and mandatory framework worldwide for the protection and enforcement of those rights. For this reason, the TRIPS Agreement has a direct impact on the daily life of corporations, governments and consumers." "This book with the authoritative stamp of an experienced international functionary in the field - formerly with the WTO and currently with the Secretariat of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) - contains a very practical explanation of the meaning of the patent-related TRIPS provisions, of how they should be reflected in national law and how courts are expected to enforce them." "The TRIPS Regime of Patent Rights is a crucially important resource for lawyers interested in compliance and government officials charged with the implementation of TRIPS obligations."--Jacket.
