European Court Rules on Trips Agreement

G Axel Desmedt

Journal of International Economic Law, 1998, vol. 1, issue 4, 679-82

Abstract: In a judgment of 16 June 1998, the Court of Justice of the European Communities gave a preliminary ruling on the interpretation of a TRIPS provision following a referral by a Dutch Judge. The judgment was highly anticipated, as it was the first time that the Court pronounced upon the substance of the TRIPS agreement. Furthermore, the case gave rise to a lengthy debate on the direct effect of TRIPS provisions and on the question whether the Court of Justice was competent to interpret the TRIPS agreement.
