Las medidas tecnológicas de protección: La implementación del Perú

During the last couple of years the United States has enacted an international policy in intellectual property that seeks to raise levels of protection in subjects such as anti-circumvention measures. Therefore, through Free Trade Agreements, the US exports provisions on the matter based on its domestic legislation: The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Consequently, US’s trade parties –most of them developing countries– are currently in the obligation to incorporate alike provisions in their national law. However, DMCA’s provisions have been widely criticized due their its collateral effects. This paper, using Peru as an example, analyzes whether US’ trade partners take into account the former’s experience with DMCA legislation at the moment of implementing FTA’s obligations.
