The aim was to ensure adequate and effective protection, through legislative, administrative and enforcement mechanisms, of intellectual property rights in the Asia-Pacific region based on the principles of the World Trade Organization's Agreement on Trade-related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS Agreement) and other related agreements. In 1997, the CTI made the IPR-GT an official APEC group with explicit terms of reference, and renamed it the Intellectual Property Rights Experts Group (IPEG). The IPEG implements a work program which aims to: \n* Deepen the dialogue on intellectual property policy. \n* Survey and exchange information on the current status of IPR protection and administrative systems. \n* Study measures for the effective enforcement of IPR. \n* Fully implement the TRIPS Agreement. \n* Facilitate technical cooperation to help economies implement TRIPS."@en . .
