TRIPS sets forth three different forms of protection for software: copyright, patent and trade secret regime. TRIPS includes a specific provision in Article 10 that expressly requires member states to protect software, whether in source or object code, However, the member countries have a right to provide more extensive protection of intellectual property rights within their national legal systems.
