Instead of getting a new international agreement in place which will create too much of confusion, we should try and adopt better enforcement mechanisms through the existing agreements like TRIPs. Part III from Article 41 t0 61 and special requirements related to border measure from Article 51 need to be incorporated in national law of every state to strength IPR Enforcement.
More importantly every individual need to be educated to respect Intellectual property rights of others rather than enforcing the same through legal mechanisms. Individuals should feel responsible for creation intellectual property and respect the same. Morality should play important role here; individuals should feel guilty of encouraging counterfeiter and counterfeiter should feel guilty for encroaching the Intellectual property rights.
Most of the nations, people are not aware of their intellectual property rights and to the maximum intellectuals creating intellectual property are exploited by the wealthy community. There were very less interesting stories on development of individual through intellectual property rights. Publication of these stories related to such individual’s development would encourage people to think creatively and invent.
Intellectual property rights (IPR) now means one company fighting on monopoly with other company. This trend needs to be changed and IPR should mean individual who contributes for the creation of IPR. Often individuals don’t tend to fight with wealthy multi national companies (MNC) and give up their intellectual property rights which MNC’s take advantage. MNC’s should respect intellectual property rights of individual and set an example so that individuals follow them.
To conclude I would say we need to inject ethics and morality and strongly recommend not encouraging counterfeiters and respecting each others intellectual property. For this we don’t require any legislation what we require is creating awareness.
