Under the TRIPS agreement, Reprise is entitled to receive:

a) better treatment than Substantivo
b) the same treatment as Substantivo
c) worse treatment than Substantivo
d) nothing

Answer 1

Answer:        

Option B                                          

Explanation:

The TRIPS Agreement refers to the minimum standard framework which enables Representatives to have more robust regulatory oversight if they really desire. Participants are deemed alone to decide the correct means of applying the Legislation's requirements under their own regulatory framework and procedure.

In the given instance substantivo is guilty of staling the intellectual rights of some other independent entity and are therefore subject to the TRIPS. Under the legislation of this act reprise will be given same treatment as substantive no matter which country is it.
