Summary
Chapters II to VIII have dealt with members’ commitments as regards the substantive standards for protection of IPRs under domestic laws, as well as their enforcement through their domestic legal systems. An important feature of the TRIPS Agreement is that disputes between members about compliance by member governments with these TRIPS obligations are subject to the dispute settlement system of the WTO. The TRIPS provisions on dispute settlement are contained in Part V of the TRIPS Agreement entitled ‘Dispute Prevention and Settlement’.
