ABSTRACT

Globalization has transformed intellectual property (IP) law communication, influencing legal frameworks, enforcement mechanisms, and technological advancements. As economic and cultural exchanges accelerate, challenges such as disparities in IP protections, international patent enforcement difficulties, and technology transfer concerns have emerged. This paper explores the interplay between globalization and IP law, highlighting the need for legal harmonization and efficient cross-border communication. Case studies from the biotechnology, biopharmaceutical, electronics, entertainment, and software industries illustrate the complexities of global IP regulations. While international agreements like TRIPS aim to unify IP laws, they also raise concerns about accessibility and economic equity. Emerging trends, including AI, blockchain, and digital content distribution, necessitate adaptive legal frameworks. Strengthening international cooperation and modernizing regulations are crucial for addressing the evolving global IP landscape.

Keywords: Globalization, Intellectual Property Law, Legal Harmonization, International Trade Agreements, Technology Transfer, TRIPS.
