| Abstract: | Over the last decade there has been a marked rise in international interest in the protection of intellectual property rights (IPRs) in different nations and the impacts of IPRs on competition, innovation and international technology transfer. In this paper the author focuses on one understudied aspect of the issue. Specifically, he compares the effectiveness of regional trade agreements, most specifically the North American Free Trade Agreement, and the multilateral approach within the WTO in forstering stronger and more harmonised levels of intellectual property protection. |
