Exploring the Flexibilities under the TRIPS Agreement: Contemplations for Nigeria- the Need to Act
There is a global recognition of the fact that there exists real and perceived imbalance of o provisions that would otherwise be rigid by mitigating the provisions of intellectual property IP creation as well as the growing need for property rights between affluent and the needy. Therefore, there is a persistent and credible need to formulate laws that would reduce the imbalance and encourage the creation of IP rights. A veritable means of achieving the above objective would be by using the flexibilities. The term flexibilities has found a special meaning in the IP world. The Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property TRIPS flexibilities are a very important part of the TRIPS Agreement, and they further give meaning t the Agreement. Their significance to developing countries constitutes a reason for the examination of this aspect of the TRIPS Agreement.
