An examination of the WTO intellectual property and services agreements (TRIPs and GATS).

'This book shines a torch on two of the most important multilateral agreements sponsored by the World Trade Organisation, viz the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) and the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs) which together regulate trade in knowledge. As well as analysing the provisions of these instruments, it provides an assessment of how they have worked in practice over the thirteen years during which they have been in existence. The assessment is aided by case studies on three important subjects - legal services, generic codes/essential medicine and on-line media. Arup adopts an approach which is as balanced as it is rigourous, making this a very valuable source of reference in this important field.' Commonwealth Lawyer's Association and Contributors
