Summary

This chapter sketches future scenarios of TRIPS implementation in developing countries by looking at past experience and current trends, and by comparing historical and cross-country patterns. The chapter focuses on the three largest emerging economies - Brazil, India, and China (BICs) - because they have the highest potential to shape the intellectual property regime. The chapter finally draws some lessons from these previous experiences to suggest what the likely positions of the BICs will be on TRIPS implementation up to 2025.
