RESUMO

The Global Intellectual Property Regime constructed after the World Trade Organization?s Agreement on Trade Related-Aspests of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS Agreement) followed american guidelines structured to serve the developed countries insterests, mainly from United States of America (USA), on regulation of intellectual property rights. At the moment of the agreement?s negotiation, developing countries did not have a lot of bargaining power due to their lack of capacity and national instability, as well as the action of the aggressive politics of coercion applied by USA. However, after the implementation of the TRIPS Agreement, these countries could assure some flexibilities inside the regime and stabilize their national economic and political scenarios reasonably. In consequence, developing countries started linking common political strategies with the only goal to improve their social and economic development and to implement their interests internationally through multilateral organizations. Therefore, developing countries obtained a new international power throughout multilateral areas of negotiation in regard to intellectual property to establish their interests and to attend their national development necessities. In this manner, this study intends to analyse the change from intellectual property international regime to a global regime and to evaluate the way in which developing countries performed, as well as the relationship among policies of social, economic and technological development and intellectual property and, finally, to examine how these countries reached power in the multilateral negotiation scenario, as the approval of the Development Agenda in the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) proposed by developing countries suggests
