The September 2024 Transatlantic Intellectual Property Summer Academy topic focuses on the WTO TRIPS Agreement as a success story: for the last three decades, the TRIPS Agreement was often vilipended. Though the Agreement is not at all exempt from major criticism for its undetailed provisions related to Public Health, and its loose provisions on IP and Technology Transfer, the overall benefits of the Agreement are now better acknowledged for most National Economies in developed economies (including the US and Europe), but also in emerging and developing economies, many Businesses circles and in Society. The program will shed light on the TRIPS success, that permits the advancement of further IP Treaties at WIPO and the development for the last 30 years of modern IP legislation in most countries of the world.
