What is it about?
The TRIPs convention has effectively prompted innovation in both developed and developing countries. Several economies and some world regions report a positive level shift in patenting after the TRIPs agreement, suggesting that the international transfer of technology is increasing.

Why is it important?
The international agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs), underwritten in 1994, is important because it seeks to reinforce the protection of intellectual property rights and so stimulate the patenting activity, mainly in developing countries.
Perspectives
I hope that these results will be useful to governments to strengthen protection and stimulate the creation of inventions and technological improvements.
