This second edition analyses the provisions of the agreements and examines closely the thirteen years of implementation and revision. Gathering together the interpretations placed on the agreements by the WTO dispute settlement bodies, it reports on the initiatives taken by the members both to liberalise trade in knowledge and to shape international business regulation. Drawing on this, Christopher Arup assesses the future of the WTO as a global law-making institution. Three expanded case studies (legal services, genetic codes/essential medicines, and on-line media) illustrate the impact of the agreements and highlight the challenges faced by the WTO in reconciling free trade with social regulation.Cambridge studies in law and society.Service industriesLaw and legislationIntellectual property (International law)Service industriesCase studiesService industriesLaw and legislation.Intellectual property (International law)Service industries346.04/8Arup Christopher1949-261523UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910792458503321The World Trade Organization knowledge agreements3856579UNINA
