Title: América Latina y el Caribe
First published: 2008
Description: Over the past five years, 10 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean have signed free trade agreements (FTAs) with the United States containing extensive chapters of provisions on intellectual property rights. The aim is to boost the protection of intellectual property rights, and, in some respects, the provisions in the FTAs go beyond the scope of those set forth in the 1994 WTO Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS).
