Aspects of flexibility in the TRIPS Agreement as a tool for technology transfer to developing countries

جوانب المرونة في اتفاق تربس كأداة لنقل التكنولوجيا للدول النامية

Abstract

Developed countries have always been proactive in establishing intellectual property provisions internationally in a manner commensurate with their economic and social conditions , through the conclusion of agreements and the establishment of international organizations , while developing countries were forced to ratify these agreements and join these organizations to join the international community , the most important international agreements related to intellectual property today , we find the TRIPS Agreement concluded within the framework of the World Trade Organization , and through our current article we raised a problem represented in how developing countries can benefit as much as possible from the TRIPS agreement in order to transfer technology to them ?.

  the answer to this problem  iwas by  extrapolating the articles of the TRIPS Agreement and deducing how to take advantage  of the flexibility aspects in it to build a technological base and develop it based on the rights conferred upon it under the agreement , Such as the right of disclosure , the right of parallel import , and compulsory licensing .
