For WTO members, the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property (TRIPS) Agreement outlines the minimum standards for Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) protection and offers a global regime for IPR protection. However, the social costs of this regime often outweigh the benefits of IPR protection, particularly in the poorest countries where resources for research and development are inadequate. Today, after more than a decade of intense debate over global IPR protection, the problems remain acute despite limited evidence of co-operation and partnership, most notably in areas such as patent pooling and pricing in respect to AIDS drugs. This book examines the role of IPRs as incentives for innovation against the backdrop of the development and transfer of technology between globalized, knowledge-based, high-technology economies. The book retraces the origins, content, and interpretations of the TRIPS Agreement. It analyzes sources of controversy over IPRs, examining pharmaceutical industry strategies of emerging countries with different IPR policies. The book also draws attention to the fact that TRIPS is only an agreement about principles. Both the TRIPS rules and international customary rules of interpretation are flexible and a great deal depends on domestic policy objectives and their implementation. The author concludes that - for governments in developing countries, as well as for their business and scientific communities - IPR protection should be supporting domestic policies for innovation and investment., Protection of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) has become a global issue. The Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property (TRIPS) Agreement outlines the minimum standards for IPR protection for WTO members and offers a global regime for IPR protection. However, the social costs of this regime often outweigh the benefits of IPR protection, particularly in the poorest countries, where resources for R&D and social protection are inadequate, but the cost of innovation high. Today, after more than a decade of intense debate over global IPR protection, the problems remain acute, despite limited evidence of co-operation and partnership, most notably in patent pooling and pricing in respect of AIDS drugs.This book examines various views of the role of IPRs as incentives for innovation against the backdrop of development and the transfer of technology between globalised, knowledge-based, high technology economies. The book retraces the origins, content and interpretations of the TRIPS Agreement, including by WTO dispute settlement organs. It also analyses sources of controversy over IPRs, examining pharmaceutical industry strategies of emerging countries with different IPR policies. The book also draws attention to the fact that TRIPS is only an agreement about principles; both the TRIPS rules and international customary rules of interpretation are flexible and a great deal depends on domestic policy objectives and their implementation. The author concludes that for governments in developing countries, as well as for their business and scientific communities, IPR protection should be supporting domestic policies for innovation and investment. This, in turn requires re-casting the debate about TRIPS to place co-operation in global and efficient R&D at the heart of concerns over IPR protection.

And Garnett doesn't overlook the basics; he includes sections on what to look for in a building site, how to read a basic floor plan, and what to expect when you order the "blueprints," or construction documents.This book is about why these changes are happening, what is needed to support these new practices, and how designers can pursue these emerging career pathways.Combining emerging trends in collaboration, democratization, and urbanization, this book examines the emergence of entrepreneurship and innovation as a primarily urban phenomenon, explains why urban environments are rapidly attracting global innovators across three distinct forms of "urbanpreneurship," and lights the path forward for entrepreneurs, innovators, and city governments.The book's lessons are germane, and today, Air Force leaders are re-examining mobile ICBMs as potential replacements for the silo-based Minuteman III.Participatory Budgeting--the experiment in democracy that could redefine how public budgets are decided in the United States.Virtually Human will be the essential companion book to the future of mankind., Virtually Human explores how cyber consciousness will manifest in our lives, and what we need to consider when a new, high-tech population of mind clones awakens to the rights, privileges, and obligations humans take for granted.
