Abstract
The article appears to be attempt to decipher such notions as “trade – related” aspects of IPR and “public interest” in The TRIPS Agreement. It is particularly striking that this article reveals that TRIPS negotiators, representing both developed and developing countries dedicated much effort and time to discuss antitrust-related concerns. This article covers few areas that give rise to many misunderstanding, among them compulsory licenses, control of anti-competitive practices in contractual licenses and parallel importations. This is also particularly interested in the implementation of TRIPS obligations.
