Since the entry into force of the TRIPS Agreement since 1995, has had a good effect on the protection of intellectual property rights. But in recent years, due to the impact of infectious diseases and several pharmaceutical patent dispute, the contradictions of the international community on the protection of intellectual property rights, and social and public interests to give more attention to. How to protect intellectual property \Many developing members of the party will be the root of the problem appears to point to the TRIPS agreement, that the agreement to focus too much on private rights to the neglect of the public interest, and strongly urged to amend the TRIPS Agreement. How to find a balance between private rights and public interests is an urgent need to solve the problem of the international community. Based on this, I tried to carry out in-depth study of the issue. This paper is divided into four parts.
