Abstract

Los países en desarrollo han liberalizado gran parte de su comercio y, por conducto de Aspectos de los Derechos de Propiedad Intelectual Vinculados al Comercio (ADPIC), también han incluido en su marco normativo normas estrictas sobre la protección de la propiedad intelectual. Sin embargo, desde una perspectiva del desarrollo económico, las normas de ADPIC imponen restricciones que no existían en el momento en que los ahora países más industrializados se desarrollaban. Por medio de los tratados de libre comercio, tanto Estados Unidos como la Unión Europea han restringido aun más las opciones de política pública para la innovación, ya que incluyen regulaciones más estrictas que el ADPIC en materia de protección de la propiedad intelectual. Este trabajo intenta responder a la pregunta ¿;hacia dónde han encaminado los tratados de libre comercio (TLC) la agenda de los derechos de propiedad intelectual (DPI) y la agenda de innovación, y cuáles son las opciones de política de innovación que subsisten? Free Trade Agreements, property and intellectual rights and the development gap: policy dimensions from a Latin American perspective Abstract: The developing countries have recently made great efforts to liberalize their trade and they also have included in their regulatory frameworks strict norms pertaining to the protection of intellectual property (through the International Agreement Trade Related Intellectual Property Issues - TRIPS). However, from an economic development perspective, it is important to take into account that the Intellectual Property Watch imposes restrictions that didn't exist during the industrial evolution of developed countries. Free trade agreements have enabled the United States and the European Union to restrict public policies for innovation, by incorporating even stricter regulations than those dictated by the TRIPS, in terms of protecting intellectual property. This report attempts to answer the question -where are the Free Trade Agreements headed in terms of adhering to intellectual property rights and innovation and which innovation policies will survive the implementation of these agreements?
