Direction for Question No 71 to 75 : Read the following passage & answer the question asked belowTRIPs agreement provides a comprehensive set of global trade rules for the protection of copyright patents, trademarks, industrial designs, trade secrets, semiconductor lay out designs, and geographical indications, that apply to all the member-countries irrespective of there levels of development, natural and human endowments and history. Every member-country has been asked by the WTO to amend its national patent law to conform to that universal, globalised format. Under Article 65, the developed

countries have been asked to change their laws and the less developed countries within another five years, and an additional five years

For legislation relating to pharmaceutical, agrochemical, food, alloys, etc. The least developed countries have been asked to make those changes by 2005 AD. This attempt at global standardisation and uniformity by way of TRIPs agreement is in conflict with the main thrust of the Rio Earth Summit of 1992 that set out the conditions for sustainable development. These two revel two contrasting types of international approaches and norms.

While the 1992 Earth Summit and the 1993 convention on bio-diversity (CBD) focused on 'diversity as being fundamental to sustain life and development, TRlPs and WTO are pushing for 'conformity' to international standardized norms on patents, services, labour, investment and what not irrespective of their history, ecology, level of economic development, etc. But despite their diametrically opposed viewpoints, 170 countries signed CBD upholding the need for diversity, and 50 countries signed the TRIPs agreement in 1994 claiming the urgency of uniformity, with a very large element of common names (130) in both.

The convention on bio-diversity (CBD) in its Article 16.5 specifically asserts that intellectual properly right must not be in conflict with conservation on and sustainable use of bio-diversity, a provision that has been totally ignored by those who compose the TRlPs agreement. While in case of agriculture the higher yield of patented products induces the farmers to switch from a more varied production pattern, the resulting narrowing of genetic base makes the economy and society more vulnerable to plant diseases and epidemics. Ii is true that the move towards cultivation of a smaller number of higher yielding varieties and the uniform spread of the same variety over a large space predates the present debate on patent, particularly since the introduction of the green revolution technology in the mid-sixties, but there can be no doubt that the latter has brought about a qualitative change in the scenario and has created possibility of a vast quantitative change too in that direction. So far no attempt has been made to reconcile the two conflicting approaches of CBD and TRIP s. If diversity is so important for sustaining life, how can WTO demand conformity to standardised global formats?

71. The author points out that intellectual properly rights and their administrationmechanism(a) is throttling the interest of global bio-diversity(b) is working to help sustain global bio-diversity(c) is being sustained by global bio-diversity(d) is what the global bio-diversity needs72. “As per the TRIPs agreement not much differentiation is made between adeveloped country such as the USA and an undeveloped country such as Sudan."In the light of the passage, this(a) definitely true (b) probably true(c) probably false (d) definitely false73.

75. Which of the following has not been said by the author in the passage?(a) A high number of countries have signed both CBD and TRIPs, twoconflicting treaties.(b) A narrow genetic base, if stuck to for long, is fraught with danger.(c) Although a nondiscriminatory approach has been followed in theapplicability of TRIPs, there has been a confessional attitude inprescribing a timeframe for Transition, as per needs of the respectivecountries(d) The author is supportive of international conventions and treaties such asTRIPs, CBD etc.
