The correct answer is: D. 1, 2 and 3
The WTO Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS Agreement) sets out the minimum standards for the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights (IPRs) for member countries. IPRs are rights granted by law to the creators of intellectual property, such as inventions, literary and artistic works, and symbols, names and images used in commerce.
The TRIPS Agreement includes provisions on copyright and related rights, trademarks, geographical indications, industrial designs, patents, layout-designs of integrated circuits, and undisclosed information.
Under the TRIPS Agreement, member countries are required to provide protection for computer software, music discs, and performing arts. They are also required to provide protection for geographical indications, which are indications that identify a good as originating in a particular place where a given quality, reputation or other characteristic of the good is essentially attributable to its geographical origin.
However, the TRIPS Agreement does not include provisions on global positioning systems (GPS). GPS is a system of satellites that provides location and time information to users on the Earth’s surface. It is not an intellectual property right, but rather a technological system.
The TRIPS Agreement also does not include provisions on journals, books, seeds, designs, or brands. These are all subject to intellectual property protection in many countries, but they are not specifically mentioned in the TRIPS Agreement.
Therefore, the correct answer is: D. 1, 2 and 3.
