Paxil online without prescription, 30 April 2007 -- By Robin Gross, IP Justice Executive Director

Paraguay is again being monitored subject to Section 306 under a bi-lateral "Memorandum of Understanding" that outlines Paraguay's objectives and actions for protecting US IPR interests in that country. Paxil online without prescription, The report underscores that bi-lateral agreements, often mis-labeled as "Free Trade Agreements" continue to be the main game for the US to impose IPR rules on other countries. But according to Joseph Stiglitz, a Nobel Prize winning Chief Economist at the World Bank from 1997-2000, these free trade agreements "are neither fair nor free".
The Special 301 Report reveals how US IPR foreign policy smacks of imperialism by forcing countries to change their laws and social practices to conform with US interests. And the report does not reflect the true US interest, but rather a narrow special interest: the powerful lobby that consists mainly of US movie and recording companies together with the pharmaceutical industry.
Furthermore, the report does not evaluate whether or not foreign countries meet their obligations under international IP treaties such as TRIPS -- many of the targeted countries do, such as Canada, Brazil, and Italy.
And while foreign countries are forced to enact many of the more restrictive IPR provisions found in the US, none of the balance found in the US, such as fair use, reverse engineering, and compulsory licensing of emergency medicines are permitted in the foreign country’s “reformed” intellectual property laws. Technological innovation, access to knowledge and medicines, and free expression depend upon these legal limitations to a monopolist's power.
IP Justice prepared a table that summarizes the USTR Special 301 Reports from 2004-2006.
