ABSTRACT: The Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs) is often described as one of the three pillars of the World Trade Organization (WTO). This paper examines the apparent lack of agreement between the two major international instruments; namely TRIPs and the Convention on Biological diversity (CBD). The Trips agreement defines minimum standards of protection for intellectual property rights (IPRs). This paper argues that current forms of bilateralism on IP has negative consequences for developing countries because the “TRIPS Plus” in bilateral agreements, undermine implementation of Doha declaration on TRIPS and Public Health, traditional knowledge, and biodiversity in poor countries.
RESUMEN: El acuerdo sobre los Aspectos de los Derechos de Propiedad Intelectual relacionados con el Comercio (ADPIC) se describe como uno de los tres pilares de la Organización Mundial del Comercio (OMC). Este artículo examina la distancia aparente que existe entre dos importantes instrumentos internacionales; los ADPIC y la Convención de Diversidad Biológica (CBD). Aquí se argumenta que en materia de Propiedad Intelectual, específicamente los llamados “ADPICS Plus”, en los actuales tratados bilaterales tienen consecuencias negativas para los países en desarrollo en asuntos estratégicos como la salud, la biodiversidad y el conocimiento tradicional de los países pobres.
