Abstract
The TRIPS Agreement is an Agreement that came into force in 1995 and it regulates intellectual property rights with specific regard to trade in goods. This Agreement was argued for forcefully by developing countries in order to prevent piracy in goods as well as counterfeiting. This research will basically attempt to analyze the impact the Agreement has had so far on developing countries and their prospects for development. It will also attempt to analyze whether the alleged benefits of the TRIPS Agreement have so far been realized and the options available for developing countries to fulfil their development prospects.
