Summary
INTRODUCTION
Since a large group of developing countries joined the international intellectual property regime following the decolonization movement, developed countries and their developing counterparts have engaged in a half-century-long debate over the appropriate standards for protecting and enforcing intellectual property rights. While developed countries complain about how the standards are insufficient to meet the needs of their growing intellectual property interests, developing countries are frustrated by how the very same standards have stifled access to essential medicines, knowledge, information and communication technologies, and other key development resources.
As is typical of any debate involving the North-South divide, the international intellectual property debate is binary and highly polarized; it involves two sides that insist on their own positions while expecting the other side to change. In recent years, however, that debate began to slowly change following the emergence of a core group of middle-income countries (MICs). Although these countries continue to struggle with traditional Southern economic, technological, and development challenges, their high levels of technological proficiency and innovative capacity have allowed them to share some common interests with the developed North.
