The 1947 General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) primarily focused on reducing trade barriers and promoting international commerce. It did not include provisions for intellectual property protections. The Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), which was adopted in 1994 as part of the World Trade Organization (WTO), established an international legal framework for regulating patents, trademarks, and copyrights, among other forms of intellectual property. TRIPS introduced minimum standards for intellectual property protection and enforcement, including penalties for infringement.
