Intellectual Property in Global Governance critically examines
the evolution of international intellectual property law-making
from the build up to the TRIPS Agreement, through the TRIPS and
post-TRIPS era. The book focuses on a number of thematic
intellectual property issue linkages, exploring the formal and
informal institutional interactions and multi-stakeholder holder
intrigues implicated in the global governance of intellectual
property. Using examples from bio-technology, bio-diversity,
bio-prospecting and bio-piracy it investigates the shift or
concentration in the focus of innovation from physical to life
sciences and the ensuing changes in international intellectual
property law making and their implications for intellectual
property jurisprudence. It examines the character of the reception,
resistance and various nuanced reactions to the changes brought
about by the TRIPS Agreement, exploring the various institutional
sites and patterns of such responses, as well as the escalation in
the issue-linkages associated with the concept and impact of
intellectual property law.
Drawing upon multiple methodological approaches including law
and legal theory; regime theory, globalization and global
governance Chidi Oguamanam explores the intellectual property
dynamics in the "Global Knowledge Economy" focusing on digitization
and information revolution phenomenon and the concept of a
post-industrial society. The book articulates an agenda for global
governance of intellectual property law in the 21st century and
speculates on the future of intellectual property in North-South
relations.
