Trade and Intellectual Property

It’s difficult to achieve innovation without the protection of ideas, and as a growing share of global economic value creation and exchange has become knowledge-based, intellectual property rights and protections have become an increasingly important facet of global trade. This category includes all GTIPA-member reports addressing trade and IP issues.

China's digital policy: a threat to European business models

Quick Take: US-EU Trade and Tech Council reveals transatlantic fissures

Trebilcock, Poliwoda – The TRIPS Vaccine Waiver Controversy

The vastly differing rate at which developed and developing countries have been able to procure COVID-19 vaccines has exposed major inequities in global vaccine access. In an effort to boost developing countries access to COVID-19 vaccines, some have proposed that the World Trade Organization (WTO) grant a broad IP waiver to enable more widespread vaccine production. A proposal from India and South Africa requesting a WTO waiver from certain international IP standards (TRIPS provisions) applying to COVID-19 vaccines and related health products is under consideration.

Exhausted by the pandemic: what's left of globalization

The exhaustion of globalization has increased steadily in recent years. The Covid-19 shock reached the world at the previous height of the systemic conflict between Chinese state capitalism and the increasingly divided transatlantic West. The European Union is largely sluggish in its response. In Europe, on the other hand, the nation-state hierarchies show themselves to be able to act.

The Algorithms of the Digital Economy between Intellectual Property and Workers' Rights

The theme of this focus is the phenomenon of "black boxes", partly due to the popular "feedback system" that many digital platforms use to collect data on user satisfaction with the goods or services rendered: given that an algorithm, to certain elementary conditions, it is an intellectual work, the claim to know its precise functioning can be frustrated by the refusal of the company that owns the algorithm to make some parts of it public. Under these conditions, various labor law principles appear inapplicable and obsolete.
