-(TRIPS) agreement obligates member nations to create administrative

-proposition for developing countries. Additionally, patent rights may
-lead to higher prices for staple industries such as
-agriculture. Critics of TRIPS question the disparity between burdens
-imposed upon developing countries and benefits conferred to
-industrialized nations. TRIPS does permit governments to use patents
-for public, noncommercial uses without first obtaining the patent
-holder's permission. Developing nations may be able to use this to
-gain the benefits of foreign patents at lower prices. This is a
-promising strategy for developing nations within the TRIPS framework.
