Intellectual property protection in the United States under Section 337

Article Abstract:

The provisions of Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 are different from those of the countervailing duty (CVD) and anti-dumping (AD) unfair trade laws. Section 337 has been found by the GATT council to be in violation of GATT Article III in providing preferential treatment for domestic goods over imports. US companies adopt Section 337 to protect intellectual property rights. The provisions of Section 337 are described, and theoretical contributions reviewed for assessing areas of trade, infringement, and the less favoured treatment of domestic and foreign goods.

Article Abstract:

Trade policy in developing countries has changed significantly from their former protectionist nature to one characterized by liberalization. The most dramatic transformation can be seen in Latin America. The region is fast approaching the trade liberalization stage attained by the newly industrialized countries of East Asia. On the other hand, Africa has shown little sign of trade reform.
