Abstract

The article discusses the role of U.S. industries and trade associations in shaping intellectual property (IP) lawmaking, particularly through the establishment of the Intellectual Property Committee (IPC) and its influence on the TRIPS agreement. The author argues against the notion of a corporate "conspiracy" behind TRIPS, instead highlighting the strategic lobbying efforts by industries to include IP issues in international trade negotiations. The article emphasizes the political and legal implications of TRIPS implementation and enforcement.
