Intellectual property (IP) has gained an unprecedented importance
in the new world of globalization and the knowledge economy.
However, experience, as well as cyclical attitudes toward IP, show
that there is no universal model of IP protection. This
comprehensive book considers new and emerging IP issues from a
development perspective, examining recent trends and developments
in this area. Presenting an overview of the IP landscape in
general, the contributing authors subsequently narrow their focus,
providing wide-ranging case studies from countries across Africa,
Asia and Latin America on topical issues in the current IP
discourse. These include the impact of IP on the pharmaceutical
sector, the protection of life forms and traditional knowledge,
geographical indications, access to knowledge and public research
institutes, and the role of competition policy. The challenges
developing countries face in the TRIPS-Plus world are also explored
in detail. The diverse range of contributions to this
thought-provoking book offer a wide variety of alternative
perspectives on and solutions for the controversial issues
surrounding the role of IP within sustainable development. As such,
it will prove a stimulating read for government policy-makers,
trade negotiators, academics, lawyers and IP practitioners in
general, UN and other intergovernmental agencies, development
campaigners and aid agencies, environmentalist groups and
university students.
