The principle of national treatment requires that the goods and services of other countries be treated in the same way as those of your own country.

If special treatment is given to the goods and services of one country, they must be given to all WTO member countries. No one country should receive favors that distort trade.


Intellectual PropertyIntellectual property refers to creations of the mind. It is

divided into two categories:Industrial property includes patents for inventions, trademarks,

industrial designs, integrated circuits and geographical indications.

Copyright and related rights cover literary and artistic expressions (e.g. novels, poems, plays, films, music, artistic works and architecture) and the rights of performing artists in their performances, producers of phonograms in their recordings and broadcasters in their radio and television broadcasts.

The progress and well-being of humanity rest on its capacity to create and invent new works in the areas of technology and culture.

The legal protection of these new creations encourages the expenditure of additional resources, leading to further innovation.

The promotion and protection of intellectual property spurs economic growth, creates new jobs and industries, and enhances the quality and enjoyment of life.


Intellectual property rights allow the creators – or owners of patents, trademarks or copyrighted works – to benefit from their own work or investment in a creation.

These rights provides for the right to benefit from the protection of moral and material interests resulting from authorship of any scientific, literary or artistic work.
