The TRIPS Agreement is the most dominant and influential international treaty on intellectual property rights. It brings intellectual property rules into the framework of the World Trade Organization, obliging all WTO Member States to meet the minimum standard of intellectual property protection and enforcement. When it comes to protection for industrial designs, it refers to copyright, trademark, patent, logo, and ideas that related to industrial design development. It is inevitable that one may violate the agreement of TRIPS, but the question comes to how can we protect the original design idea when an idea is utilized abroad. We can firstly cope with the controversies about the implementation and interpretation of these provisions, such as the content and interpretation of the agreement. Then, we may look into the test data being calculated for national and international Intellectual Property Rights to see if the mathematics meets the scientific results. Finally, we will keep track on common problems faced by original idea-producer to evaluate the feedback being sent to us. We can fully protect their intellectual property rights indeed.
