International Intellectual Property Law – Prof. Amir Khoury

Unlike many fields in law, the national laws dealing with intellectual property protection are substantially affected by international agreements and conventions pertaining to the protection of IP rights.

This course follows the development of these agreements namely how they were conceived and how they have evolved over time.

The course reflects on the changes that have occurred within the international IP régime namely with the advent of the World Trade Organization. It also considers the “trade-off” which leads countries to adopt that régime.

The course also devotes attention to the “North-South” debate between Developed and Developing countries (“have”s & “have-not”s, respectively) and considers how this has been (and is being) resolved.
