<p align="justify">Before TRIPS coming into force in 1995, countries had authority to construct their own IP systems. Establishing World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), countries had to observe IP rules. One of the most important issues in WIPO is genetic resources and traditional knowledge. In relation to article 27 of TRIPS, countries have authority about protection and designation of protecting system but because of knowledge level difference between countries and locating many of these sources in developing countries, there are many problems between two groups of countries which makes the developing and developed countries to suggest amendments for TRIPS.
