LETTER FROM THE GAMA WORLD

摘要

This paper argues that an international system of patenting is needed to protect countries interests in high technology. It discuses the aims of the 'new economic order' and attempts to discriminate positively in favor of under-developed countries. Proposals of sharing technology by active intervention are outlined and the problems associated with technology transfer discussed. Changing attitudes of the OECD countries, led by the USA, are attributed to globalization of the world market, leading to legal uniformity. Finally, the paper predicts that developed countries will increasingly concentrate on lighter industries and will require a more efficient international legal structure. [References: 3]
