6.10 Basic Structure of the TRIPS Agreement

The IP-trade integration (the LAW5502 course's companion): the seven parts — the general principles (the MFN-and-national-treatment); the standards' minimums (the copyright-patent- trademark-GI-and-others — the LAW5502 U2-U6 depth); the enforcement (the general-obligations; the civil-and-administrative; the border measures; the criminal); the disputes (the DSU's application); the transitional periods (the LDC's extensions — Nepal's faces); the Doha-health declaration (the compulsory-licensing-and-public-health — the medicines' debate); the TRIPS-plus era (the FTAs' higher standards). The Nepal implementation: the IP laws' WTO-alignment (the Patent-Design-Trademark Act's amendments; the Copyright Act 2059); the enforcement's honest audit (the LAW5502's record).
