Descripción
Intellectual property rights (IPRs) are legal rights granted by government al authorities to control certain products of human intellectual effort and ingenuity. (OECD 1996, at 12). An in- depth discussion of the philosophical and policy goals served by gran ting legal protection to these products is beyond the scope of this report. However, a basic familiarity with these goals is necessary to grasp how national and international intellectual property systems and institutions have evolv ed to their present forms and to understand the constraints that those systems and institutions place on governments seeking to implement competing policy objectives in tension with IPRs.
