Intellectual property rights (IPRs)-patents, copyrights, and
trademarks-have moved from an arcane area of legal analysis and a
policy backwater to the forefront of global economic policymaking.
Apple and Samsung's patent battle illustrates the importance of
IPRs and how they impact everyone. Private Rights and Public
Problems is a completed update of the seminal, oft-cited 2000
study, Intellectual Property Rights in the Global Economy. This new
book documents the remarkable global changes in IPRs policies that
have taken place since the founding of the World Trade Organization
(WTO) and analyzes both the benefits and costs of the global IPRs
system.Does stronger IPRs protection increase incentives for
innovation and raise returns to international technology transfer
or does it raise the cost of acquiring new technology and products?
Have the changes benefited technology producers or technology
consumers? Do these policies help or hinder the transfer of key
technologies used to address critical global public needs, such as
essential medicines, green technologies, bio-engineered seed
varieties, products made from genetic resources, and scientific and
educational materials? The book examines these issues through an
analysis of the economic effects of extended international
protection and partial harmonization of IPRs. Ultimately, it argues
that the global IPRs system stands at a fundamental crossroad,
facing more challenges than ever before. It makes several
suggestions for improving the efficiency and fairness of the newly
globalized system in the near future, if the political will can be
found.
