I recall reading that Argentina was fighting with the US over the GATT accords a few years ago, and the country basically refused to establish a patent system. This was in the Pharma industry newsletters, probably in 1995-96.

Would anyone know of a source that would cover patents published in
Argentina? According to the vendors websites, Derwent WPI covers
Argentina only in 1975, Inpadoc covers Argentina from 1973 to 1991 (from
Contents and coverage of PFS bibliographic file), Chemical Abstracts
does
not cover Argentina.
