Abstract

Abstract This chapter examines the trend in TRIPS-Plus provisions or the standards of intellectual property (IP) protection that are higher than what is required in the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS). It analyses patents as a form of IP to show that a rotating cycle between bilateralism, regionalism, and multilateralism not only exists in free trade agreements (FTA) but also strengthens intellectual property rights (IPR) and the obligations of nations. It discusses the important areas that are being re-negotiated bilaterally with the introduction of every TRIPS-Plus provision.
