The "Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights" of 1994 constitutes a milestone in the international protection of these rights and the most far-reaching agreement to follow upon the venerable Paris and Berne Conventions.

It is an indispensable tool for lawyers, practitioners and scholars in this area.

This second edition incorporates the analysis of key provisions of the Agreement resulting from dispute settlement procedures under WTO rules.
