GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) originally applied only to trade in goods, including manufactured goods and commodities. It was only with the Uruguay Round of negotiations (1986-1994) that GATT was expanded to cover trade in services and intellectual property. This led to the creation of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1995.
