Trips Agreement Sustainable Development and the Public Interest

This work addresses the environmental and developmental impacts of patent protection by focusing on the global agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS). While the TRIPS agreement serves as an important step in harmonizing international intellectual property systems, the author contends that it currently fails to properly balance public and private interests, especially in the gap between rich and poor.Walker, Simon is the author of 'Trips Agreement Sustainable Development and the Public Interest', published 2001 under ISBN 9782831706047 and ISBN 2831706041.
