Conclusion
Those abovementioned are
about the prevailing Acts and Laws by which
we were / are able to take action against
the infrigement on Intellectual Property in
our country. Other Laws which are said to be
related with I.P, such as The Science and
Technology Development Law of 1994 ; The
Television and Video Law of 1996 and The
Computer Science Development Law of 1996
also are in an introductory stage. Since
have we found no relevant case law or
citation yet, we hope you to be appreciate
that we left these Laws un-discussed in this
paper.
As our country joined WTO
in 1994, became a member ASEAN in 1997 and
also became a member of WIPO in 2001, it
becomes responsible to observe and be in
harmony with the provisions of relevant
treaties of such organizations, particularly
TRIPS Agreement and the ASEAN Framework
Agreement on I.P. As per the Article 66 of
TRIPS Agreement, Myanmar has obtained time
sharing of preparation to apply the
provisions of this Agreement till January
1st 2006. For this purpose the Attorney
General Office has re-drafted I.P Laws
in-need to be harmonized with the TRIPS
Agreement under the guidance of the
government and by the help of the Ministry
of Science and Technology.
