SUMMARY:The Role of Intellectual Property for Development – Experiences 
 from 20 Years of TRIPS - Carlos Maria Correa (University of Buenos)

CONTACT:Sophie Eastwood
DESCRIPTION:One of the key arguments of the proponents of the Agreement on
  Trade-related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) adopted as 
 a component of the World Trade Organization was that high levels of intell
 ectual property protection would boost innovation globally. The world map 
 of R&D\, however\, does not show a general improvement of R&D outcomes in 
 the last twenty years\, particularly in developing countries . Moreover\, 
 many economic studies have casted doubts about the impact of intellectual 
 property\, notably patents\, on innovation in developed economies. \n\n***
