註釋This article reflects upon the dynamics of the intellectual property (IP) agenda of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and the legal framework provided by the WTO's Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS Agreement). This article seeks to point out that disharmony between developed and developing states is not essentially a manifestation of the TRIPS Agreement or the WTO. Rather, the trade-intellectual property agenda is inherently complex. For this reason, it is not appropriate to describe the events in Cancún as a failure, but as an inevitable part of the protracted negotiation of a complex web of issues. Similarly, it is not reasonable to expect consensus to emerge from the Hong Kong Ministerial Conference, and commentators and states alike should shift their focus from the question of 'success' to the question of whether progress, however incremental, has been made.
