Abstract

One of the lesser-known, but important, features of recent Preferential Trade Agreements (PTAs) is the specification of rigorous standards of protection for intellectual property rights (IPRs). This paper reviews the extent of these policies in PTAs negotiated by the United States and the European Union with developing countries. Economists and scholars of international relations have paid virtually no analytical attention to the reasons for these changes, nor have they studied their socioeconomic impacts. Several areas are discussed in which detailed analysis would do much to advance our understanding of this important trend. (Jedna z menej známych, avšak dôležitých čŕt súčasných preferenčných obchodných dohôd je špecifikácia presných štandardov ochrany práv duševného vlastníctva. Predkladaný článok zhodnocuje rozsah týchto politík na príklade preferenčných obchodných dohôd vynegociovaných Spojenými štátmi americkými a Európskou úniou s rozvojovými štátmi. Ekonómovia a experti v oblasti medzinárodných vzťahov nevenovali dosiaľ dôvodom súčasných zmien prakticky žiadnu analytickú pozornosť, rovnako ako neštudovali ani ich socioekonomické dôsledky. Článok sa venuje niekoľkým oblastiam, v ktorých by detailnejšia analýza priniesla významné pokroky v našom chápaní súčasných trendov.)
