Article 20 of the TRIPS Agreement: Up in Smoke?

Research output: Chapter in Book / Report / Conference proceedingChapterAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

World Trade Organization (WTO) members must be able to regulate tobacco as they see fit. Was that argument sufficient for Australia to win the case filed against it by a number of WTO members contesting the compatibility of its plain-packaging legislation (which prohibited non-word marks entirely and limited the use, format and size of word marks on cigarette packs) with two major WTO instruments, including of course the TRIPS Agreement?2.
