The History of the TRIPS Agreement Sample Clauses

The History of the TRIPS Agreement. The international period tolerated a lot of free-riding basically because there was no enforcement mechanism in place.40 As such in the area of copyright the US who were not even members of the Berne Convention took advantage to free ride on other people’s work. However in industrial property many US companies especially in the area of pharmaceuticals relied heavily on returns from their inventions and therefore the lax system of protection did not favour their operations. “For pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer, intellectual property was an investment issue. They wanted to be able to locate production anywhere in the world safe in the knowledge that their intellectual property would be protected.”41 Ideas then to link intellectual property to trade started to float among various groups including lawyers and business enterprises. The result was that in the 1980s the US reformed its trade laws directed at countries whom the US thought had weak intellectual property systems.

  • History of Agreement This agreement has been drafted by the Texas Student Privacy Alliance (TXSPA). The Alliance is a collaborative group of Texas school districts that share common concerns around student and data privacy. The Texas K-12 CTO Council is the organization that sponsors the TXSPA and the TXSPA is the Texas affiliate of the national Student Data Privacy Consortium (SDPC). The SDPC works with other state alliances by helping establish common data privacy agreements unique to the jurisdiction of each state. This Texas agreement was drafted specifically for K-12 education institutions and included broad stakeholder input from Texas school districts, statewide associations such as TASB, TASA, and TASBO, and the Texas Education Agency. The purpose of this agreement is to set standards of both practice and expectations around data privacy such that all parties involved have a common understanding of expectations. This agreement also provides a mechanism (Exhibit E- General Offer of Terms) that would allow an Operator to extend the ability of other Texas school districts to be covered under the terms of the agreement should an Operator sign Exhibit E. This mechanism is intended to create efficiencies for both Operators and LEAs and generally enhance privacy practices and expectations for K-12 institutions and for companies providing services to K-12 institutions.
