Gatt sets a standard of norms to follow.
All GATT member-countries calls for rewriting their national laws to conform to internationally agreed standards for protecting patents, copyrights, trademarks, industrial designs, and trade secrets.
Just like any other product of value, intellectual property is desired and sought by others. In South Dakota intellectual property theft has grown drastically over the last decade and is responsible for massive economic losses of many citizens, while South Dakota intellectual property lawyers are fighting to protect your copyrights.
Copyright infringement happens on a day-to-day basis, especially since the evolution of the Internet, which is governed by the same intellectual property laws as any other media. While people don't make the connection to ordinary theft, many are surprised by the strict penalties that await those that violate intellectual property laws.
