This book analyses the governance foundations of innovation,
brands, inventions, secrets and expression, which are the keys to a
century based on knowledge. They are reflected in legal rights that
have been fermenting over centuries of national policy
deliberations on intellectual property rights, constantly in flux
in the face of new advances in science, but overall a trend towards
greater protectionism. As countries are challenged by the
strictures of international agreements, often extorted through
imbalanced power relationships, they seek their own national means
for beneficial differentiation from the new global norms, whilst
complying with international obligations. This book deals with the
outcomes of regional governance of intellectual property, which
often creates ripples in the search for harmony in the laws that
form the basis for the future of intellectual property. The work
has contributions that come from developing and developed nations,
showing a common theme of the struggle to find the balance in an
area of law that often does not provide clearcut solutions to real
world environments. There are many intellectual property struggles
illustrated in this work: patent at the boundaries of nature and
invention, the need for drug development, which is driven by profit
based on the patent monopoly; copyright, the expression of original
thought, seeking to maximise exposure facilitated by the internet,
but a system that facilitates rampant copying; trade marks,
supporting company branding, seeks to exploit global branding
through naming domains names; and other areas concomitant to the
globalisation of intellectual property governance, such as foreign
direct investment. This book holds up a mirror to the issues of
world governance of intellectual property rights in this century,
asking whether the direction we are currently following is in the
best interest of global citizens, and showing the divergence that
constraints are stimulating on a national level.
