This Opinion may become the first step towards the creation of a Multilateral Investment Court, the project, which is preliminary promoted by the European Union through the conclusion of bilateral trade agreements. While Ukraine is no alien to investment disputes over intellectual property rights, the interplay between investment law and intellectual property rights has received limited attention among local scholars. Consequently, this article starts with introducing the reader to the key elements of existing international investment treaties that are relevant for the intellectual property regime. It is followed by an overview of main investment disputes, involving intellectual property rights, with a view of mapping potential issues such a dispute may present to the Ukrainian system. The third part of the article analyses the European Union\u2019s new generation of international investment agreements. Although Ukraine has not yet been involved in such negotiations, art. 89 of the EU\/Ukraine free trade agreement allows for its review to include provisions on investment protection and investor-to-state dispute settlement procedures. Consequently, two recent investment chapters are contrasted, the one included in the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement with Canada, as a developed-to-developed country negotiations model; the one included in the draft of the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement with Tunisia, as a developed-to-developing country negotiations model. Such comparative analysis has allowed me to discern both common and diverging provisions, relevant for the national intellectual property systems, which, in turn, will allow Ukraine to adopt informed decisions during a potential negotiation with the European Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords: <\/strong>multilateral investment court, EU investment agreements, international investment law, TRIPS, EU\/Ukraine free trade agreement, EU\/Tunisia free trade agreement<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EU-Canada CET Agreement.
