DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNATIONAL REGULATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

In recent years we have seen a true internationalization of intellectual property laws. So today one can easily familiarize with foreign laws on intellectual property, due to their increasing uniformity and homogeneity. This is the result of numerous international treaties and two international organizations. At the multilateral level, the World Intellectual Property Organization (wipo) administers 24 treaties on intellectual property, and for its part, the World Trade Organization (WTO) is in charge of the well-known trips Agreement (Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights), adopted in 1994. Furthermore there are several bilateral treaties in the form of free trade agreements that contain intellectual property chapters. In this paper, a chronological review of the development of international law of intellectual property is carried out.
