The Agreement of Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) Effect on Clean Energy Technology Transfer

This dissertation builds on international legislation, concentrating particularly on international agreements such as TRIPS, WTO and WIPO publications. It also covers the preparation documents of these international agreements, judicial decisions, commentaries, academic books and articles, international conference papers, and the statistics and reports of developing countries in comparing clean energy transfer policies before and after TRIPS. Key sources also include law magazines, newspapers and reports that show the developing countries\u27 technological and environmental improvements. To collect data for my research, I worked at WIPO\u27s Geneva-based database project. I utilized WIPO\u27s, WTO\u27s and developing countries\u27 libraries to secure statistical data and articles and also followed a number of key international conferences on international intellectual property and climate change
