This remarkable book covers the impact of human rights on
intellectual property law in the most comprehensive review ever
undertaken. It is destined to influence the future development of
this field and constitutes an essential resource for both scholars
and practitioners.' - Jerome H. Reichman, Duke University School of
Law, US'Professor Geiger has assembled an extraordinary group of
leading legal scholars, human rights lawyers, judges, and
international civil servants to provide comprehensive,
up-to-the-minute coverage of all the major issues implicated by the
interaction between human rights and intellectual property. This
volume will be required reading for anyone interested in this
increasingly important topic.' - Beebe Barton, New York University
School of Law, US 'Intellectual property law draws boundaries
around human creativity. In doing so it intersects with the
principles and values of the human rights tradition. In this
remarkable volume, Professor Christophe Geiger has brought together
a great team of scholars to explore this intersection. The result
is a Research Handbook that is comprehensive in its coverage of
jurisdictions, issues and debates. It is an indispensable starting
point for researchers wishing to understand the field and its many
topics.' - Peter Drahos, Australian National University and Queen
Mary University of London, UK Research Handbook on Human Rights and
Intellectual Property is a comprehensive reference work on the
intersection of human rights and intellectual property law.
Resulting from a field-specific expertise of over 40 scholars and
professionals of world renown, the book explores the practical and
doctrinal implications of human rights considerations on
intellectual property law and jurisprudence. The various chapters
of the book scrutinize issues related to interactions among and
between norms of different legal families and the role of human
rights in the development of a balanced intellectual property legal
framework. The innovative approach of the book is reflected in its
structure: the first part provides a foundation for the human
rights and intellectual property discourse; the second sheds light
on the human rights implications for the development of
intellectual property; and the third (characterized by a human
rights perspective) is devoted to the specific issues of
interaction between human rights and intellectual property.
Exploring in depth a variety of interactions between human rights
and intellectual property law, the book will be of great interest
to academics and experts working within human rights, intellectual
property, development, international relations and international
public law. Contributors include: A. Abdel-Latif, T. Aplin, C.
