Abstract

The article reflects on the past 100 years of international intellectual property (IP) law, highlighting its evolution from regional agreements to global systems like the TRIPS Agreement. It emphasizes that IP rights are shaped by human policies and societal needs, not inherent qualities, making them adaptable. Current challenges include balancing IP protection with public access, addressing cybercrime, and grappling with AI-generated works.
