Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) is administered by the World Trade Organization (WTO) [4]. Established in 1994 and coming into force in 1995, TRIPS is a central component of the WTO's multilateral trade rules, often described as a "package deal" for its members [2][t1]. The agreement sets minimum standards for intellectual property protection and enforcement that all WTO member nations must follow [c1][t9]. Within the WTO structure, the TRIPS Council is specifically responsible for administering and monitoring the operation of the agreement, serving as a forum for member discussions and negotiations [t4]. While other organizations like WIPO administer older treaties like the Paris and Berne Conventions, TRIPS remains unique as a trade-related IP framework under the WTO's jurisdiction [t1][t6].
