Costa Rica and IP confidence-building

Jeremy September 28, 2012 No comments:

The most recent issue of the World Intellectual Property Organization's WIPO Magazine includes an article, "Costa Rica builds respect for IP rights", by Catherine Jewell (Communications Division, WIPO). This article, which focuses on the activities and likely future significance of the country's Administrative Registration Tribunal, is a bit of a panegyric. This blogger hopes that both the present and the future are as rosy as the article suggests, but wonders whether readers of this weblog can confirm that confidence in Costa Rica's IP system is truly on the increase.
