Trips And Ipr : The Heart Of The Matter, T N Srinivasan

IIMB Management Review

T N Srinivasan, currently Samuel C Park Jr Professor of Economics, Yale University and special advisor to the World Bank, raised the three issues which he feels are at the heart of the debate over TRIPS and IPR — Are patents necessary for innovation? What is the best way to provide life saving drugs to the poor at a price they can afford? What is the best way to minimise the cost of production of these drugs? There is the fundamental assumption in the utilitarian view that most IPR regimes subscribe to, that by granting a patent you are going …

Treaties In Collision: The Biosafety Protocol And The World Trade Organization Agreements, Sabrina Safrin

Rutgers Law School (Newark) Faculty Papers

In the event of a conflict between the requirements of the Biosafety Protocol, a multilateral agreement governing the trade in genetically modified organisms, and the requirements of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and associated agreements (collectively WTO Agreements), which treaty's requirements prevail? This question lies as the legal heart of the perceived conflict between trade globalization and environmental protection. This issue is particularly timely given the present trade dispute between the United States and European Union over the European Union’s restrictions on the importation of genetically modified agricultural commodities.

In this piece, I analyze the relationship between these …

U.S. Industries, Trade Associations, And Intellectual Property Lawmaking, Jacques J. Gorlin

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article discusses the role of U.S. industries and trade associations in shaping intellectual property (IP) lawmaking, particularly through the establishment of the Intellectual Property Committee (IPC) and its influence on the TRIPS agreement. The author argues against the notion of a corporate "conspiracy" behind TRIPS, instead highlighting the strategic lobbying efforts by industries to include IP issues in international trade negotiations. The article emphasizes the political and legal implications of TRIPS implementation and enforcement.

Some Things Cannot Be Legislated, Robert M. Sherwood

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article argues that international intellectual property (IP) laws have limited effectiveness in developing countries without local support and robust institutional frameworks. It emphasizes that developing nations must recognize the role of IP in fostering economic growth and that judicial systems are critical in enforcing IP rights effectively.

Legal Ethics, Business Ethics And International Trade: Some Neglected Issues, Robert W. Mcgee

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article critiques the ethical shortcomings of utilitarianism in international trade policies, arguing that such policies often prioritize special interests over individual rights and public welfare. It advocates for a rights-based approach, emphasizing the protection of property and contract rights, and proposes reforms such as invoking the Takings Clause to ensure equitable outcomes. The analysis highlights the ineffectiveness and moral failings of measures like economic sanctions and protectionist policies, which frequently harm innocent populations and violate constitutional principles.

The Internationalization Of Intellectual Property: New Challenges From The Very Old And The Very New, Daniel J. Gervais

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

Intellectual property concepts embodied in international treaties and national laws date back to the eighteenth century. Many fundamental concepts (originality in copyright law; confusion in trademark law; novelty or inventiveness in patent law) vary from one country's national legislation to another. Yet, many critics of the intellectual property system recognize that solutions to the problems, ranging from database protection to the Internet, should ideally be the same worldwide. In today's globalized economy, it makes sense to adopt rules to protect that take account of the laws and practices of other nations and of the work of international organizations. Protecting only …

World Trade Intellectual Property And The Global Élites: An Introduction, Peter K. Yu

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

This introduction examines the shift in intellectual property (IP) lawmaking from domestic governance to international frameworks, particularly through the World Trade Organization (WTO). While international lawmaking promotes harmonization and prevents regulatory races to the bottom, it often prioritizes the interests of developed nations and multinational corporations, potentially undermining the ability of less developed countries to tailor IP systems to their socio-economic needs. The introduction highlights concerns about the exclusion of key issues like consumer rights, cultural diversity, and human rights, as well as the undemocratic nature of global institutions.
