The Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS Agreement) imposes a positive regulatory obligation on Members to ensure a minimum level of protection and enforcement of intellectual property (IP) rights in their territories.
Part I of the TRIPS Agreement contains general provisions and basic principles that apply to all the IP rights falling within its coverage. Part II is subdivided into eight sections, each dealing with a different area of IP protection. Part III sets out the obligations of Members with regard to the enforcement of IP rights. The remainder of the TRIPS Agreement addresses issues relating to the acquisition and maintenance of IP rights, and contains institutional and procedural provisions.
