IP treaties ensure enormous advantages for all kinds of
import and export transactions, whether the parties are more
focused on globalization and international trade or localization
and sustainability.
Should all countries adhere to all IP treaties?
Next to rules on the merits, the major international agreements
focus on cutting red tape, easing access to foreign markets,
reducing delays and costs and improving the efficiency of managing
IP portfolios overall. Hence, there are a number of strongly
beneficial treaties to which it would behoove any country to
adhere. Other conventions are broadly discretionary and for
specific cases, which can only be determined by duly considering
all economic and diplomatic circumstances.
